EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mystical phenomenon of Table Mountain in South Africa, shrouded in a blanket of cloud known as the "tablecloth." According to local legend, this unique natural occurrence was said to have been created during a smoking contest between Dutch settler Van Hunks and the Devil in 1690. As the story goes, Van Hunks engaged in a fierce competition with the Devil atop Table Mountain, resulting in billowing clouds of smoke that enveloped the peak.
The historical significance of this myth adds an intriguing layer to this stunning image, showcasing not only the beauty of Table Mountain but also its rich cultural heritage. The silhouette of the mountain against a backdrop of swirling clouds creates a sense of mystery and wonder, inviting viewers to ponder the origins of this otherworldly sight.
With its roots deeply embedded in South African history, this photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring power of folklore and tradition. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of stories passed down through generations, shaping our understanding and appreciation of the natural world around us.
