Unesco declared Robben Island in the Western Cape a World Heritage Site in 1999. Robben Island is located in Table Bay, some 6km west of Bloubergstrand, and stands some 30m above sea level. Robben Island has been used as prison and a place where people were isolated, banished and exiled to for nearly 400 years. It was also used as a post office, a grazing ground, a mental hospital and an outpost.
In 1961 it started being used as a prison again. During apartheid many Black people were kept on Robben Island as political prisoners. Former President Nelson Mandela was kept there. The prison internationally notorious for its harsh conditions and when the political prisoners of the apartheid government were released Robben Island became a symbol of the strength of the human spirit.
Robben Island was declared a World Heritage Site because the buildings on the island are a reminder of its sad history and because the same buildings also show the power of the human spirit, freedom and the victory of democracy over oppression.

A picture from my fitness shoot with the terrific Lane and Zhenya on 7/29/17 at Lunatic Lens Studio in Phoenix. This shoot was great fun. Makeup and hair by the models themselves. On Zhenya, the main light was a DigiBee800 fired into a medium gridded strip bank, camera right. At camera left, I had a large, foam white reflector. Zhenya's rim light was an Alien Bees B1600 fired into a medium gridded strip bank, behind her, camera left. All lights were triggered with Pocket Wizards.
