Duncan Rawlinson photographed visitors climbing the stone stairs toward the Old Cape Point Lighthouse in Cape Town, South Africa. Bright sun flares behind the white and black striped tower as tourists ascend the path flanked by green coastal vegetation. A woman in a polka-dot sun hat dominates the foreground, her striped shirt and colorful scarf catching the light. The clear blue sky and warm tones show the openness and energy of this popular coastal landmark. The composition balances human scale against the historic structure, capturing a moment of midday exploration at this visited Cape site.
