On the way to Muizenberg

we have such strong winds during the summer months, that the coastal road is partly covered by sand. This is the Indian Ocean with the Hottentots Holland Mountains in the background.

Interesting coast

Lovely Photograph.

[narayani]

That’s a lot of sand!

[Susan Wakely]

Great white sand beach and beautiful blue sea. I imagine the sand could be quite tiresome if it gets blown everywhere.

[Gillian]

Great way to show all the sand on that road.

[Helge Erik Storheim]

Really beautiful scenery

[katy]

Gracious! That must make driving on it very difficult! I love the colors in this photo and the fact that you can see mountains from the beach! That’s a scene we don’t have here on our beaches.

[LManning (Laura)]

Great use of the line of the guard rail. Interesting scene and story!

[Steve Chappell]

Beautiful beach

[Lou Ann]

Oh my. The road looks impassable.

[Esther Rosenberg]

Oh wow, I hope they are protecting the beaches as well as the road.

[Mags]

Beautiful! Nice to see a beach that isn't populated with high rise buildings.

[Krista Marson]

interesting sight

[Lynda McG]

Nice shot and leading rail

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Lovely shot and great pov.

[Monique]

Wow

[KV]

What a beautiful beach... the water color is stunning. Nice leading lines with the roadside fencing... and I'm sure it helps gauge where the road is when it is covered with the sand.

[Nina Ganci]

The wind has been strong this season

[Jacqueline]

Great capture, love the lines and the mountains!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

The mountains and the sea all in view- how pretty is that? Although I'm sure getting hit by that sand when it's blowing is not pleasant at all!

[Carole Sandford]

An interesting capture!

[Kate]

Nice perspective. So are there sand plows to keep the roads passable?

[Bill]

The guardrail does a good job of leading my eye into the photo.

[sheri]

Wow, that's amazing.

[Rick]

Seems like an odd place for a guardrail. Guess it keeps them off of the sand. Great capture.

@k9photo Yes Kate, that is a major road connecting the winelands with the other side of the bay. Many days it is closed due to the ploughs having to clear it, an alternative route then has to be taken, which takes double as long.
