The Eagle Has Landed

The Eagle Has Landed! In this case, an Airforce Helicopter I don't know the exact name of. It looks like a practice run for the local sea rescue and fire fighting teams, but nonetheless enough of an unusualness to draw a huge crowd. Hermanus has a fire season, normally in high summer from January to March, when the slightest provocation such as a cigarette butt carelessly thrown out of a passing car window can result in a huge blaze and thousand of hectares of fynbos destroyed, not to mention the millions of rands of damage. However, fire is necessary for fynbos to thrive. Every year after a fire you see new species of fynbos that haven't been spotted for years.
