The suburbs (I've never heard of them being referred to as villages like Schoenmakerskop does) of Seaview and Beachview to the west of Port Elizabeth has some of the most envied coastal views anywhere in the city.
Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton City must be one of the most popular attractions in Johannesburg. Everybody seems to stop at Sandton City to go shopping and then make sure that they swing by Madiba's statue for a picture. On a busy day its actually quite difficult to get a pic of the statue without anybody next to it. I've posted about Nelson Mandela Square before (2008, 2009 and 2010), but on my last visit to Johannesburg I couldn't help but to…
I know I've done posts about the Sundays River Ferry before, but it stays one of my favorite attractions and activities in Port Elizabeth. I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the cruise down the river, the chance of seeing birds or water monitors along the river bank, the company of owners Les and Maggie and to climb to the top of the dunes at the turning point. Really a wonderful experience and you will definitively see it again in future.
Not everybody likes arum lilies but I have a special fondness for them, specially when they grow wild somewhere in nature. I found this one growing along the Shark River in Happy Valley.

A couple of week ago we spent a night along with a couple of friends at the Sand River Getaway in the Elands River Valley just to the west of Port Elizabeth. So close to the city yet it felt like we were in a totally different area. The Sand River Getaway has a couple of tented rooms on platforms and a big communal area which include a kitchen, lounge, dining area and ablution facilities. Standing on the outside deck this is the…
I would like to wish all the followers, and accidental visitors, of Port Elizabeth Daily Photo a HAPPY NEW YEAR. May 2013 be your year and bring all of you lots of pleasure, happiness, prosperity and a fair degree of riches. I'm starting out the year by posting one of my favourite places in Port Elizabeth, The Donkin Reserve with the historic lighthouse and pyramid standing side by side with the new art pieces that has been installed in the area…
The sun rises on a new day and a new year. HAPPY NEW YEAR! (hope I didn't say that too loud for those who were out celebrating last night) to all the readers of FireflyAfrica: The Firefly Photo Files. May 2013 be a year of happiness, prosperity and sommer everything else you would like it to be.
This time of years the long summers days and the fact that most people are on holiday (and I say most because not everybody is as fortunate as the rest of us though) give one the opportunity to get out and do some outdoorsy stuff. As the last post for 2012 I decided to post a view of the magnificent coastline on the Sacramento Trail between Schoenmakerskop and Sardinia Bay. The trail is only about 4km each way making a total of…
