A rescuer moves across a horizontal high-line during a training exercise somewhere on Table Mountain.

This photograph of a jewellery piece is part of a project imaging the unique creations of the artist jeweller AnGela.

This brooch was hand crafted by AnGela in her Stellenbosch studio in sterling silver and 18ct gold. View her blog and other amazing forms of wearable art here

Based in the Western Cape, at the tip of that beautiful, wild and perplexing continent of Africa. With photography as with so many other things, passion is the quintessential element, breathing life into art.
