After lunch we went off the beaten track and headed toward the coast. This is part of one of the longest coastal walks in the world, jutting out into the Indian Ocean and covering about 120 km north to south. We are roughly half way along it here.

The wind was howling off the ocean as the waves strongly suggest, and there was no small amount of influence from Antarctica far to the south. And the light was intense; not glary or unpleasant (as the clarity and colour in this shot attest), but intense anyway. With the viewfinder-less E-P1 I was, I must be honest as much lucky as skilful in getting any of the shots from this area. It was in fact one of the things that made me realise that I needed a walkaround camera with a viewfinder, though the E-M1 was far in the future at this point.

Looking at this image again, I have to admit that the title made more sense before I (necessarily) cropped it to get rid of a slightly crazy tilt.
