Dive!

Will Penny jumped out of a plane over the Southernmost tip of Africa, becoming the first person to skydive and land at the cairn there (just a few metres north of the site of the infamous Most Southerly Blog Post in Africa).
He got this shot:

Wow. That’s Struisbaai under his left hand, L’Agulhas by his right hand, and Suiderstrand (under the shadow of a cloud – boo!) along the coast to the west (left of the picture). For the sake of completion, Arniston is far right of shot and Soetvlei is just above his left boot.

But – I’m over analysing. It’s just an amazing photo.

More details of the jump: Facebook.
More pictures: On his Instagram.
And some pictures of that time I flew over Agulhas.

UPDATE: There’s a video!
