Pollok Beach in reverse
We all know where Pollok Beach is and what it looks like. We normally look at it from the side of the parking area at Something Good. Have you ever walked down to the far side and looked back along Pollock Beach? Ok, so you're not allowed to answer this question if you take part in Parkrun because then you would run along this beach from this side every Saturday anyway.

Splash pool at low tide
Yesterday afternoon I had a workshop to attend at the Summerstand Hotel and on the way realised I was slightly early. I pulled over at the Pollok Beach parking area and took a walk down to the natural tidal pool by the hole in the rock. We spent many Sunday afternoons swimming in this pool when I was small and I just realised again that I should have brought my KidZ here more often when they were smaller. Perhaps when…

Sunrise at Shark Rock Pier
I was early getting to work this morning so I kept going past my normal turnoff and pulled into the parking at Hobie Beach to see if I can snap a nice sunrise picture at the pier...

Sunset over the Knysna Lagoon
I spent the weekend in Knysna for work and didn't have a lot of free time, but that did not stop me from dashing down to the Knysna Heads just in time to catch the sunset. It's been a few years since I've spent some quality time in Knysna and I seriously need to make a plan and get back there to explore the forest a little more than I have in the past and also get down to places…

Aloes in flower
One of the things I love most about winter is the fact that the aloes are in bloom. Here is Port Elizabeth we are very fortunate that we are surrounded by areas where aloes grow in abundance. Areas like the Gamtoos Valley, Baviaanskloof, Addo region, the Karoo Heartland and the Grahamstown district.

Vintage Port Elizabeth
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okXCbpCPDaI&w=500&h=400]For this week's Video Friday post I'm posting a video made up of vintage Port Elizabeth pictures I found on YouTube. I'm sure it will bring back fond memories for a lot of people while the younger readers of the blog will probably barely be able to recognise some of the places featured.

Sunset at the Qora River Mouth
Don't let the name of the Wild Coast put you under a wrong impression. The Wild Coast isn't all rough and tumble with storms and shipwrecks. It's also a place of beauty, untouched pieces of coastline, stunning river mouths, beautiful beaches, villages on rolling hills overlooking the sea and Nguni cattle on the beach. I really wish I had the opportunity and time to go and visit it more often to see more of it than the two or three…

Shark Rock Pier compass
If you've ever been on the Port Elizabeth beachfront you would know Shark Rock Pier, one of Port Elizabeth's most prominent and well known landmarks. Most of us (and I say most of us because not everybody gets the opportunity to visit the beachfront on a leisure basis) have walked on the Pier, but have you ever noticed that there is a compass rose embedded in the paving just in front of the Pier?
