A little while ago I popped outside one evening to pull the car into the garage and saw the most unusual sky. It wasn't quite a big ring around the moon, but rather more a big patch of light in the sky around the moon with the darkness moving in like a cold front. There was a distinct line between the light and dark areas and after about 10 or 15 minutes the light was just about gone. Very strange.
So this may not be Maya the Bee (remember her?) or Bee Movie, but it is a honey bee on a protea. Not much more that I can say than that.
The South African Airforce Museum behind the Port Elizabeth Airport has a fascinating collection of airplanes and other airforce memorabilia on display. It is probably one of the lesser know museums in town and thus not as well supported as some of the others.
As you walk from Hobie Beach to Pollock Beach you walk through this section of beach which is adjacent to "Lovers Lane". At low tide there as lots of rocks and sand banks sticking out to explore and when the tide is very high you sometimes have to hurry along or you may get your feet wet if a wave pushes up onto the sand.
The arch bridge over the Storms River in the Tsitsikamma was completed in 1958 and formed a major link in the National Route N2 between George and Port Elizabeth. The bridge is one of four great arch bridges crossing the deep gorges of the Tsitsikamma and is about 120 meters high. The river itself is a very short river and is only about 40 km in length. It has a big catchment area in the Tsitsikamma mountains and can rise…
I popped into the EPSAC Art Gallery in Bird Street today to have a peak to see what the current exhibition looks like. The gallery is run by the Eastern Province Society of Fine Art and the Society's chairlady at the moment is Sue Hoppe. Sue? Some of you may say. Yes, I say. The one and only Sue who started this same Port Elizabeth Daily Photo with husband Max (hence they were known as SAM). Their 90th Annual Exhibition…
Ok, so not the best advert for PE's beachfront, but I liked the look of the picture in the early morning sun. This is the bottom seaward side of the beachfront promenade between McArthur's Swimming Pool and Humewood Beach. The section of the promenade wall is in desperate need of a coat of paint. Perhaps the "powers that be" will give it a coat before the summer holiday season arrives.
These four giraffe crossed the road right in front of us at Kragga Kamma Game Park on Sunday. (Why DID the giraffe cross the road? The chicken was having a day off.) As soon as they were on the other side they stopped dead in their tracks and stretched their necks (get it? stretched their necks) and stared down the hill. I wonder what they were looking at.
