From Lion's Head in Cape Town, during sunrise, the photo offers a mystical and somewhat alienating view due to the presence of a thick layer of smog. The rising sun breaks through the misty sky with a soft, orange glow, leaving the outlines of the city and surrounding mountains only vaguely visible. Table Mountain, normally an imposing and sharp silhouette, seems to disappear in the hazy atmosphere.
Under the smog layer, the city and its streets slowly awaken, with only occasional glimpses of rooftops and buildings visible through the diffuse light. The smog lays a blanket of silence over the landscape, while Cape Town's usual vibrancy seems to be held back.
While the smog affects the beauty of the view, it also adds an almost surreal feel to the scene. The warm colours of the sun blend with the grey tones of the fog, resulting in a dramatic and emotionally charged image. This moment recalls both the natural splendour of Cape Town and the challenges facing the modern city. It is a photograph that beautifully sums up the complexity of life in a metropolis.

Trying to improve myself constantly and try new things. Expect city and nature photography...
