The Danger Point and the Danger Point Lighthouse near Gansbaai in the Overberg has a descriptive name very apt to how dangerous the coast here can really be. It doesn't looks as dangerous though when you photograph it with little pink wildflowers in the foreground.

The blog is done by Sarah and Ralph Dirsuwei and covers mostly family travel which means that they involve their three sons Jacob, Luke and Cian. The family lives in the Sardinia Bay area within the Sardinia Bay Conservancy. For the last few months Jacob has had a bush camera set up along a fence within the conservancy which get triggered by movement. And movement there is lots of. Check this…
Would you guess that this picture was taken in the middle of Port Elizabeth? It is the area of small holdings between Charlo, Lovemore Heights and Lorraine. Literally a farm in the middle of the city. The pic was snapped from The Pink Fig coffee shop on Heatherbank Road.
After climbing the Danger Point Lighthouse outside Gansbaai in the Overberg in December, Drama Princess and I headed down the path towards the rocks to find a Geocache hidden nearby. As we hit the trail down we encountered this sign. Damn, those must be big spiders if there is a warning sign including them along with snakes.
I often hear and see comments that there is nothing to see or do in and around Port Elizabeth. If that was true, would Port Elizabeth Daily Photo be passing post # 3000 today? Yes, you read correctly. Today is PEDP's 3000th daily post.Port Elizabeth Daily Photo was started on 7 November 2007 by Sue and Max Hoppe, collectively known on the blog as SAM. For them it was a labour of love to the city and many current and ex-Port…
South Africa has some famous lighthouses. Cape Point, Green Point, Agulhas, Great Fish and Umhlanga just to name a few. There are close to 50 lighthouse along the South African coast though and some often receive very little publicity because they are very much off the beaten track or just don't get visited as often as the well known ones. During our camping holiday at Vloedbos in the Overberg we spent one day exploring the coast between Gansbaai and Agulhas and…
I could not believe my eyes at about lunch time today when I spotted a post of Facebook about a shark warning flag flying at Hobie Beach. I just had to go and look for myself. Jip, there it was. Fluttering on the breeze on this warm and muggy Tuesday afternoon. I snapped a pic (obviously the one in this post) with my phone and headed for the pier to see if I could spot the shark in question. I…
This morning when I got to work I got a message from a friend who took his mountain bike out for a change again. He wanted to show off the pic he took with his phone on the beachfront at sunrise this morning and I just had to share it with you. Perhaps I need to get my b-hind out of bed early one morning and go and take some pics like this myself.
All you saw on social media, especially Facebook, on Wednesday was back to school photos. Kids off to pre-school, grade 1, grade 8 and everything in between for the first time. The Damselfly posted a back to school pic but I never did. So today it is my turn with a back to school post with a bit of a difference.When the Damselfly was pregnant with Chaos Boy in 2002 we attended antenatal classes at the St Georges Hospital with…
One of the local Geocachers, Team Navimate, have been honouring Eastern Cape cachers by placing caches in their honour along the Grysbok Trail in the NMMU Nature Reserve. I first discovered the trial when I went to find a cache placed in my honour about a year ago. Just after New Year I received an email from Navimate to let me know that they are placing a cache for Drama Princess and we made arrangements for it to be published…
