Description
People have inhabited Pinnacle Point of Mossel Bay, South Africa, for over 160,000 years. Archaeologists have recently unearthed remarkable clues about the caves-dwelling people that left behind evidence of a flourishing lifestyle derived from the marine life of this southern coastline. Pinnacle Point is still a popular spot for humans, now sporting luxury golf courses and beautiful modern homes atop the ancient cliffs. But I chose to depict the Pinnacle Point of the very distant past when the fire-lit caves of our early ancestors glowed some 75,000 years ago and the subtle starlight of the Milky Way as seen from the southern hemisphere sparkled against the darkest of skies on a summer night.

I've done some space scenes myself, but you really have a skill at creating these! With the small fires in the foreground, I assume this to be the dawn of man in his most primitive world! Good work, Lucy!
