Cape Point (1)

Many people say that this is where the two oceans meet, which geographically is not entirely correct...that honour goes to Cape Agulhas. In reality, the two currents - Warm Agulhas and Cold Benguela - is ever-changing so that the currents meet somewhere between Mossel Bay and Cape Point. This can change on any day; the exact point is thus not exact!

Cape Point has the highest lighthouse in South Africa. Also, the original lighthouse had to be lowered because it was situated above the fog and ships would not be able to see the lighthouse! The Flying Dutchman - a ghost ship - also does its rounds here.

Thanks to my friend Jeremy at Virtualtourist for this info.

It is a old photo that i scanned. Had to crop it a bit on top. Other than that just resized it.

"I like the mistiness in the background.

I rotated it 1 degree ccw and lightened it a bit. Maybe I should hav selected the foreground only for lightening..
