Description EsiKhaleni is the Xhosa name for the Hole in the Wall and means 'place of thunder'...a name which this place has earned from the thundering clap caused by waves breaking through the hole in rough swell. I spent a magical 5 days there despite having bad weather it is an absolutely amazing place!

Such an enchanting place, you are so lucky.

ah now I'm jealous! Had a trip planned to the transkei during this past christmas - but everyone else opted out - including my lift - because of the crap weather! and I was just thinking "but the photos will be amazing!"

Really lovely soft lighting and contrast. And I'm so glad you put a little history of the place in the artist's comment section - makes it much more personal instead of a general landscape.
