[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a shot of the rear of my rented Beetle near Steenbras Dam. Steenbras is located about 1km south of Gordons Bay, a few hundred meters up.

The view on Gordons Bay (little town on the bottom) and False Bay from there was breathtaking.

Very dynamic photo, with a good colours.

Hi Gilbert, An excellent view & well captured, the colours are superb & likewise the POV, the shot is well framed & great composition, the only negative i feel is the beetle is a little dark, however still love the photo, kind regards Wilson.

Gosh that countryside is like molten gold! Superb contrast with the darker side of the picture. Gorgeous view.

HI Gilbert,
Nice view. The landscape is interesting and the position of the beetle is good too !

Hi Gilbert,
This is a very pleasing shot in beautiful sunset colors. The color of the earth and mountains are a wonderful contrast to the Beetle. The Beetle amid the landscape definitely transforms this from a sunset-type image to a more "real"-life or daily life shot. Thanks for sharing!
