Chaos Boy, unlike Drama Princess, is a bit wary of the donks at the East Cape Horse Care Unit. While Drama Princess doesn't mind getting close to them, Chaos Boy keeps a good distance between himself and the carrot munchers.
The sun peaking out from behind the Donkin Memorial on the Donkin Reserve. The Donkin Memorial was erected by Sir Rufane Donkin in 1820 in remembrance of his late wife Lady Elizabeth after whom he named the town.My first Skywatch contribution of the year. Eish, that's bad of me.
I have passed Ronnie's Sex Shop on Route 62 close to Barrydale so often but *sticks head in a hole* have never pulled over for a look. Yes, shame on me. But if you don't know what Ronnie's Sex Shop is, don't think it was a case of wanting to stop there to have a look at kinky toys and lingerie. Because that's not what Ronnie's Sex Shop is about.

Kanonkop (or Cannon Hill) above the town of Montagu has a beautiful view across the town with this angle looking out over Montagu West. The story goes that the original cannon which stood on this spot and dated from the 1800 was used at some stage for a salute of honor which went horribly wrong and caused a young man from the town to loose both his arms.

This is the last of the pics I took on our hike on the Maitland Nature Reserve's 9km trail in December. It was the first time I've been on the Maitland Trail and it just showed me that Port Elizabeth has so much that even I haven't seen. And people say there are nothing to do in PE.
A couple of visitors to the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum trying to grasp an interesting art piece with an old man wearing a dress. Mmmmm, perhaps I should have read the tag to see what its about.
A couple of years ago I got to meet the stunningly beautiful actress and Pasella (a magazine program on SABC 2) presenter Vicky Davis on a Pasella shoot in Port Elizabeth. I sneaked a candid shot of her which I posted at the time. Late last year I got to be on another Pasella shoot with Vicky.
