Lighthouse. Cape Point, South Africa
The lower (operating lighthouse) at Cape Point, The Cape of Storms, can be seen through the misty sea spume. The original lighthouse on top of the cliff gave the ships a false reading because it could be seen from great distances away. So another lighthouse was built lower down

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Rodger Shagam, the rugged and untamed beauty of Cape Point, South Africa is perfectly captured. Through the misty sea spume, we catch a glimpse of the lower operating lighthouse at Cape Point, also known as The Cape of Storms. Standing tall amidst the jagged cliffs and dangerous ocean waves, this lighthouse serves as a beacon of hope for ships navigating these treacherous waters. Interestingly, the original lighthouse perched atop the cliff proved to be misleading for sailors due to its visibility from great distances away. To rectify this issue, another lighthouse was constructed lower down on the cape. This decision ensured that ships approaching from afar would not mistake it for their intended destination. The atmosphere in this photograph is truly mesmerizing; one can almost feel the churned sea and hear the crashing waves against unforgiving rocks. The mist adds an air of mystery to an already dramatic scene. It's a reminder of both nature's power and man's ingenuity in creating structures that withstand such harsh conditions. Rodger Shagam has skillfully captured a moment frozen in time - a testament to his talent as an artist and photographer. This print invites us to contemplate our place within nature's grandeur while appreciating human efforts to tame its wildness.
