Magic Artistry of the Ocean!

This is a painting by the sea inside a shell!

No human hand has touched it, no paint or brushes have touched it and it was done as an exclusive by the ocean. We were strolling along and I will show you below how we came upon this master artwork.
Come walk with us!

Here was the original shell that I found after the tide had receded. Wedged onto a stone in the sand.

But it was the inside of this shell that grabbed my attention.

It looked like a sea creature emerging from a wave to attack either a dolphin or another creature skimming along the ocean.
A master painting indeed.

Miles of empty beaches and white sand to enjoy in the out of season periods. Of course these beaches are packed during the school holidays.

And a final view towards the northern side of the beach.

Some information about South Africa below!

"8 reasons South Africa is the most beautiful tourist destination in the world"!

"1. South Africa’s mega-diverse landscape
There are only 17 countries in the world that are classed as mega-diverse in terms of its fauna, flora and the amount of species unique to that country. Most of these are very large countries that span vast areas in diverse topographical regions. South Africa is – in travel terms – manageably small, yet it is truly mega-diverse".

"In the west the stunningly rugged coastline merges with the Namib Desert (one of the driest in the world) to make up the skeleton coastline. In the east the aptly named “wild coast” provides some of the most beautiful unspoilt beaches in the world.
The Cape floral kingdom represents less than 0.5% of the area of Africa, but is home to nearly 20% of the continent’s floral species".

"The interior (heart) of the country provides some of the most remarkable wildlife sanctuaries in the world. National parks such as Kruger, Addo, Limpopo Transfrontier and Kalahari have captured the imagination of wildlife enthusiast across the world".

"The Namaqualand in the north turns into the world’s largest wildflower garden once a year just after the first rains (go ahead google Namaqualand flowers!). Then SA has some of the most unique mountain ranges anywhere on the planet.
The Drakensberg, Waterberg and of course Table Mountain offer breath-taking, world class views. That is why SA has the highest repeat tourism of any long-haul destination in the world".
