Introducing a breathtaking fine art landscape print captured at Buffalo Bay, near Knysna, just days after the devastating fires of 2017. This unique piece encapsulates both the beauty and the raw aftermath of one of South Africa’s most destructive natural events.

As the sun sets off to the left, out of frame, the Outeniqua Mountains stand solemnly in the background, stripped of their once-vibrant fynbos vegetation. The charred hills below tell the story of the fires that swept through the region, leaving the landscape transformed into a sea of burnt browns and charcoal. The sky, still filled with lingering smoke and haze, radiates with a myriad of pinks, violets, reds, and golden hues, a striking contrast to the barren terrain below.

In the foreground, the beach at Buffalo Bay is shrouded in a soft, low-lying mist. Using a long exposure technique, the waves of the Indian Ocean have been flattened, creating an ethereal sense of calm amidst the destruction. The reflective reds of the setting sun cast an eerie glow on the burnt mountains, bringing the landscape to life despite its desolation.

This fine art print captures a powerful moment in nature’s cycle of devastation and renewal. It is a testament to the resilience of the landscape, even in the face of immense destruction. The photograph is not only visually stunning but also a reminder of the profound impact of the 2017 fires on the Garden Route.
