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?

Summerstrand beachfront
I think one of the things I love most about the Port Elizabeth beachfront is that it isn't over developed like that of Durban or even Cape Town, plus that there is minimal development that has taken place between Marine Drive and the beach. Can you imagine what out beachfront would have looked like if it was over developed? Thank goodness it isn't.

Picnic in St Georges Park
Two Saturdays ago I joined the local Geocaching community for a picnic event in St Georges Park. I just realised again what an amazing place we have right here in the city where we can go and picnic while the kids run around and play on the park equipment. Really something more people should do.
