Most of Port Elizabeth's monuments are located around Central and the city centre. There are a few outside of those areas though. One example is the Piet Retief monument and another is the Cenotaph in front of the Walmer Townhall. I stopped at the Cenotaph with Drama Princess and snapped a few pics while she was checking it out. The Cenotaph contains the names of the men from Walmer who died during the two world wars. Why does Walmer have…
There are certain geocaches which is just easier to do if you have a kid with you, especially when it is hidden somewhere around a kiddies play area. This was the case last weekend when I stopped by Grass Roof on Seaview Road and needed Drama Princess to cover me while looking for cache. She immediately hopped on the tractor and I pretended to take a picture of her while retrieving the container.
PE Daily Photo regular, Gerhard Burger, sent me this picture yesterday. It seems he is a bit of a night wolf and his comment in the email: "People don't know what they are missing when they go to sleep before midnight." Good thing the moon wasn't full otherwise the night wolf would have been running around on all fours down the street it seems.
The Wild Coast. Creates pictures in one's head of rugged coastlines, rough seas, shipwrecks and storms... Or in this case a sunrise over the Nxaxo River Mouth on a windless morning.
A sunny winters day in South Africa is probably close to a summers day in parts of the UK. We've had a few of those in the last week or two and this is what Hobie Beach looks like on a week day like that.
I met a fellow travel professional for coffee at Blue Waters Café the other afternoon and before heading back to the office took a walk over to the Pier to see how the work is (not) progressing. Looking towards Humewood Beach and the city beyond this was the view. Don't you just love sunny winters days?
A trip out to Colchester to try out the new Addo Sand Sledding experience meant that I had the opportunity to climb the dunes next to the Sundays River again to enjoy the magnificent view over the dunes and Algoa Bay towards Port Elizabeth. I caught my friend Erenei snapping a couple of pics at the top and made him sit and hold his pose for a while for me to get a few pics of my own. Always nice to…
The Wild Coast is literally just a couple of stone skips away from where I am based in Port Elizabeth, yet except for quick visits to Morgan Bay and Trennereys I've never explored it properly. Some people even told me that those are situated on the Mild Coast and that I would have to venture further north to be able to properly say that I've been to the Wild Coast. In May circumstances allowed me to spend a few days…
The view west from the top of the dune by the parking area at Sardinia Bay. It can't be denied that we have some of the most beautiful scenery in the country right here on our doorstep.
The Sardinia Bay migrating dune has now decided that it is time to occupy the parking area as well. The entrance to the parking area now barely has space for one car to pass through and I'm sure it won't be long before a new plan will have to be made.
