New Beginning

In summer 2019 I finished my bachelor in business law but instead to do a master's degree, I decided to take some time off and travel through the south of Africa. I took this photo on one of my first evenings I spent in Cape Town - the first and always recurring destination of my journey. During the day I checked out the city and the waterfront and right before sunset, I spontaneously packed my camera and headed to Signal Hill. I heard that sunsets on Signal Hill must be amazing and it did not disappoint - a wonderful view of Table Mountain, Lions Head, the city and the coast of Cape Town and all that with the sun disappearing on the horizon as a backdrop.

I have to admit, I went into this trip with a lot of fear, insecurities, anxiety, but also a lot of hope and excitement. And this photo marks a new beginning for me, not only of this one journey through southern Africa, but also of a new attitude towards life, new thoughts, new dreams, a new me.
