While you were sleeping

We’re down in the Southern Cape again this weekend, so I thought it wholly appropriate to share a pic I took last weekend of some ships rounding Cape Agulhas at night.

I’ve seen the ships in Table Bay illuminated at night, but I just assumed that they were lit up since they were stationary and just outside a major port.
Now I find that ships have headlights too – big bright ones.

It was rather eerie watching these bright lights moving silently across the horizon, especially with the atmospheric reflection off the cloud base.

Bigger and on a dark background here.

    Now that is a pretty good picture. I never knew they had big-ass headlights either :?

    wiggy > Sure I’ll get a better one at some point. It was a bit windy, so the long exposure isn’t as clear as it could be. But yes. Big lights.
