STORM AT KALK BAY LIGHT HOUSE



Last Sunday the storm, rain and ferocious gale force winds, that swept the Peninsula for the last 3 days, were reaching their peak across False Bay when we received a call from Chris Fallows, the amazing shark expert, telling a few friends to meet in the early evening for a shoot at the Kalk Bay harbor.

He knew the wind and tides were going to bring formidable breakers crashing on the wall and around the light house. 

Pat Scott, Jacoba Van Zyl and I, three mad enthusiastic photographers braved the elements and battered by the wind we were not disappointed. It was a terrifying, exhilarating and exciting experience. The waves were exploding in spectacular shapes and patterns along the wall of the harbor, at times engulfing the light house completely.

I watched the fisherman who had taken shelter in the niche of the light house and regularly vanished inside the waves. It took my breath away every time it happened as I feared he would soon be swept away in the boiling waters.

But he knew he was safe.
