Sunset, Hermanus South Africa

Sunset, Hermanus South Africa, originally uploaded by marc silber.

This was almost my last shot, ever! I was so intent on catching this shot, that I started to cross the small highway, instinctively looking first to my right to see if any cars coming–but this being South Africa, drivers were on the other side, as I started to step out –woosh along came a car going very fast that pushed me back. (This was how Winston Churchill was seriously injured by a car while crossing Fifth Avenue in New York in 1931.)

As you see, this shot has deeper meaning for me. I’m very glad it wasn’t Marc Silber’s last shot!
