Due South of Cape Town, South Africa, lies the scenic Hout Bay.
Hout Bay is a beautiful, but tricky, place to photograph due to the rapidly changing coastal weather.
Here are some photos I snapped of Hout Bay and the surrounding area.

Chapman’s Peak Drive
Getting to the viewpoint required a drive down the famous Chapman’s Peak Drive, which follows the Eastern edge of the bay.

I only had about 15 minutes to try and snap some keeper photos.
That being said, I think I captured a few decent shots (especially once the weather began to swirl).

Dark clouds make their way into the bay
The clouds for a dramatic and swirling “eye”
The clouds blow through and the sun returns
Cheers!
