Die son gaan onder oor die Klein Karoo. Dis die einde van 'n snikhete somersdag en die horison is besig om te verkleur. Blou raak goud raak donkerder. Daar is nie 'n briese wat trek nie met die enigste beweging 'n volstruis wat teen 'n draadheining afloop.
The St Croix Motor Museum is THE place to visit if you are into vintage and classic cars. I'm not the type of guy who goes gaga over cars and even I was hugely impressed when I walked in there. But the museum has more than just the actual cars. The back wall is filled with old hubcaps, steering wheels, car product containers along with badges and logos.
The patterns on a giraffe must be amongst the most interesting in the animal kingdom. They're not just spots, they're more like carefully laid slate stones.
If somebody had to give me a choice of holiday between Beach or Bush I would probably choose Bush 8 out of 10 times. Perhaps its because I live on the coast and is used to the sea, but I just love being in the bush and going on game drives. The game drive I was on in the picture was at Lalibela Game Reserve about an hour outside Port Elizabeth.
Richmond Hill has really become one of the "in" places as far as restaurants and boutique shops go in Port Elizabeth. I had a couple of minutes to spare while in the area and strolled into Decor on Irvine for a look. The first thing that grabbed my attention as I walked in was the wooden rabbit with the big red heart. Thank goodness I didn't have my wallet otherwise I would have been trying to find it a nice spot…
Mens is so gewoond om monumente in dorpe en stede asook langs groot paaie te sien, maar daar is wel monumente wat min mense te sien kry weens waar hulle gelee is. Die Karel Landman Monument is een van dié en kan gesien word op 'n grondpad so 'n entjie van R72 tussen Port Elizabeth en Alexandria af. Karel Landman het in die omgewing geboer tot 1837 voor hy een van die prominente Voortrekker leiers geword het. Landman het 'n groep van omtrent…
Seven of us from work went for a walk along the Sacramento Trail just outside Port Elizabeth the other day. We were lucky to choose the perfect day with the warm winter sun shining down on us. I had two cameras hanging around my neck so I was clicking away all the way for both work and pleasure. As usual my eyes were all over the show looking for stuff to photograph and I spotted the big orange and black shell…
Summer, oh Summer, where art thou Summer? Winter has been cold and wet. So very wet in fact that with three more weeks to go we already have the second wettest winter on recorded and there are more rain to come. I just thought I'll post a picture I took at Pollok Beach towards the end of last Summer for a bit of wishful thinking.
Apologies once again for posting another picture which I've posted on The Firefly Photo Files before. I just haven't had the time to go though my pictures to see which haven't been posted. Having your hard drive pack up on you isn't a fun exercise.This Black Sparrowhawk surprised me the other day by having his dinner on my lawn. His dinner, one of the pigeons that live in my palm tree. The Black Sparrowhawk (Accipiter melanoleucus), is the largest African member of the genus…
Tafelberg is die Moederstad en sekerlik Suid-Afrika se bekendste landmerk. Die berg is 'n UNESCO Wêrelderfenisgebied asook een van die Sewe Natuurwonders van die wêreld. Dit is ook my berg. Of altans so voel dit. Ek het nog nooit in Kaapstad gewoon nie, maar wanneer ek die berg sien dan is dit asof ek huistoe verlang. Ek groet die berg elke keer as ek in die Kaap aankom en weer as ek vertrek. Daar is 'n band van een of ander soort tussen…
