Every year seasonal fog rolls into Cape Town, South Africa, covering the ocean and parts of Cape Town – including famous Table Mountain – with a mystical mist. Marc Schmidt captured these fantastic photos and videos this last week in Cape Town.

Marc told SAPeople: “It’s the sea fog rolling in from the Atlantic, hitting Llandudno, Camps Bay, Clifton, Sea Point, along the 12 Apostles and through Kloof Nek and into The City. Also around Hangklip and straight into Hout Bay as shown in the video below.”
