Mosaic from above
One of the new art pieces on the Donkin Reserve forming part of Route 67 is a 470m2 mosaic which is seen here from the top of the lighthouse. The mosaic represents the multi-cultural heritage, diverse history and the abundant fauna and flora of both the city and the province of the Eastern Cape.

The Fort
The closest I have to an aerial photo of Fort Frederick, Port Elizabeth's oldest building, is one taken from the top of the Donkin Lighthouse. The views from the lighthouse is fantastic although its a bit of a tight climb up to the top.

South African Navy Museum
Taking a walk around Simon's Town after our train ride from Kalk Bay during our summer holiday in December we "stumbled" upon the South African Navy Museum . The museum is housed in and around the original Dockyard Magazine / Storehouse which dates back to 1743. After 1810 when the Royal Navy moved its headquarters from Cape Town to Simon’s Town the building was extended to become the three-storey building it is today. Just after coming through the entrance there is a number…

Long eared beggers
"Hey dude, did you bring us any carrots?" Ok so donkeys can't talk, but that's what I imagine these long eared ladies were saying during my last visit to the East Cape Horse Care Unit.

Check out my wings
Cape Recife is one of Port Elizabeth's best bird watching spots, specially for waders, coastal and marine birds. This cormorant looks like he is showing off his impressive wingspan for a passing kelp gull.

Just Nuisance
Just Nuisance, along with Jock of the Bushveld, are probably the two most famous dogs in South Africa. Nuisance, a Great Dane, was born in 1937 and as his owner worked at the naval base he started hanging out with the sailors. Nuisance roamed around freely and began to take day trips by train with the sailors, going as far afield as Cape Town. Although the seamen tried hiding him the conductors would find him and put him off the trains. The railway company eventually warned that Nuisance would…

Vergelegen in pienk
Die Weskaap is wêreldwyd bekend vir sy wynplase, party van hulle wat soveel as drie eeue terugdateer. Een van die oudste wynplase in die Kaap is Vergelegen in Somerset-Wes. Willem Adriaan van der Stel het sy pa, Simon van der Stel, in 1700 opgevolg as goeweneur van die Kaap. Kort voor lank het hy 'n groot stuk grond aan die voet van die Hottentots Hollandberge vir homself geeien net soos sy pa met Constantia, die oudste wynplaas in die Kaap, gedoen het. Dit het drie…

Buskers
There are often a busker or dancers entertaining passing folk on the promenade at Hobie Beach hoping for a couple of coins (or notes). Last week on passing I noticed two buskers combining their talents and creating a bit of a vibe in front of the Hobie Beach Boardwalk. The guy with the guitar plays and sings quite well and with the djembe drummer joining him they created a very unique and interesting sound which attracted quite a number of onlookers.
