Through the forest canopy
The forest giants of the Tsitsikamma is the Outeniqua Yellowwood. It is South Africa's national tree and grows over 800 years old. Inside the shady forest the sun isn't always visible, but where there are gaps in the forest canopy, usually where ancient trees nave fallen over, it does break through to reach the forest floor. Another sky shot through the canopy. For more awesome sky shots from all over the world, why not head over toe Skywatch Friday.

Established a century ago, Mill Park still has the atmosphere of a gracious lifestyle when life was lived at a slower pace.

Since we recently welcomed anon and arnieo to this blog, both of whom coincidentally live in Houston Texas and used to live in the PE suburb of Mill Park, we thought we'd show a couple of views of this attractive suburb.Mill Park has an interesting history. According the the fascinating "Port Elizabeth in Bygone Days, written in 1947 by JJ Redgrave, "the present Mill Park area derived its name from the fact that there was in the early days an…
