Arniston is a small seaside settlement on the coast of the Overberg region of South Africa, close to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa. It is also known as Waenhuiskrans, an Afrikaans name meaning literally "wagon house cliff", after a local sea cave large enough to accommodate a wagon and a span of oxen.
At first only a fishing community, Arniston has become a holiday destination and its hinterland a region for viticulture. The fishing village, characterized by its lime-washed and thatched houses, remains unspoiled and has been declared a national monument in its entirety. Fishermen still go to sea in boats of the style that would have been familiar to locals in the early nineteenth century, although now under contract to larger commercial enterprises. Whale watching is a popular tourist activity. It is also a popular place for artists who can capture the real essence of the place, past and present.
Visit the gallery for images of animals, birds, botanicals, iconic buildings and landscapes in and around the Mother City, Cape Town and beyond.
All images are available as high quality prints on non-archival paper or on stretched canvas. Click here for prices.
