Travel hazards in the Western Cape

Yes I know the date is Saturday, 25th as I write, but I'm trying to play catch-up because for 3 days I have been in the boonies with no access to the internet. This photo was taken somewhere near Cape Agulhas as we criss-crossed the landscape going from bay to bay. The weather was wild most of the time with gales blowing and rain a lot of the time. It is so interesting to learn from memorabilia and old records housed in local hotels about the countless ships that were wrecked on this coastline from the 1600's up until 1982 when a relatively modern freighter was driven onto the rocks by the notorious Cape Southeaster. Anyway, getting back to this photo, we came around a corner to be met by these cows being herded home for the night.
