A man runs through sea foam, as a seasonal cold front moved over the Cape Peninsula following a week of severe weather and flooding, in Cape Town, South Africa, June 19, 2023. Photographer Nic Bothma got pretty wet taking a photo of sea foam blowing onto a promenade in Cape Town in June. As a seasonal cold front approached, he had identified a bay that would likely be affected by rough seas and winds, and figured out when the tide would be high. "Fortunately, this also coincided with late-afternoon light, which assisted the photography," he said. Seeking an immersive feel, he watched the ocean carefully and moved in at the right moment with a wide-angle lens. "I had my camera covered under my weather jacket and only used it for a split second to capture this image, but even within such a short moment it covered the body and lens with foam," he said. "I got pretty wet despite the rain gear." REUTERS/Nic Bothma
