EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Table Mountain, Cape Town, South Africa, as it showcases a rock hyrax (Procavia capensis), also known as dassie. The image perfectly portrays the natural beauty and diversity of this African destination. The rock hyrax stands proudly on a rocky ledge, its alertness evident in its eyes fixed directly at the camera. Its fur blends harmoniously with the surrounding rocks, creating an exquisite color palette that highlights the animal's unique features. The horizontal composition emphasizes both the vastness of Table Mountain and the small yet significant presence of this wild mammal. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of how animals like these play an integral role in our planet's ecosystem. This particular species is native to South Africa and holds cultural significance within African folklore. The elevated view allows us to appreciate not only the majestic creature but also its habitat - a rugged landscape adorned with shadows cast by nearby rocks. The focus on foreground adds depth to the image while drawing attention to every intricate detail captured by Michael Runkel/robertharding. Whether you are an animal lover or simply seeking travel inspiration, this stunning print will transport you to Table Mountain and evoke a sense of wonder for nature's wonders found in every corner of our world.
