Noordhoek Sunset and the Smokey Haze

 Last Monday night Jason and I took the advice our friends gave us and headed to Noordhoek. Its a town about a 25 minutes drive from us and as you can see the beach there is incredibly beautiful. If you have been hearing any news about Cape Town lately I am sure you have heard about the wild fires that lasted most of this past week. They stretched for miles and most of our mountain is charred and black. All that to say the clouds in the sky in these pictures are not clouds at all but actually smoke. The fires burned on the mountain right behind us as we watched the sun go down on the horizon. It was such a mix of golden light and eerie haze. Beautiful and terrifying all at the same time. Needless to say we will be going back to Noordhoek lots more times and if you come visit I am sure we will take you there too.
