Last week I saw a stunning yet very sad picture by Luc Hosten on Facebook. Two days later I was down at Cape Recife in Port Elizabeth and came across the scene photographed by Luc. The penguin wasn't in the same position anymore and I didn't want to try and recreate the exact scene anyway, so decided on something similar yet slightly further away. African Penguins are highly endangered and under immense pressure at the moment with some people giving them only 5 years if nothing major is done soon. The guys at SAMREC in Cape Recife do an awesome job with limited resources but they desperately need the support of the public and corporates to keep them up and running.
