Stopping by Fort Frederick the other day I spotted this guy enjoying the view from the top of the fort's walls. Looking at the picture I wonder what it would have looked like with soldiers on the walls just after the fort was built in 1799.
Living in Port Elizabeth we can't really say we know much about subways. On our recent visit to Cape Town we took a train ride from Kalk Bay to Simon's Town. As we had to board the train on the other side of the tracks we had to pass under it through a tunnel which, with its graffiti, was what I imagine subways would be like.
A week or so ago I did a post of a couple of guests at Amakhala Game Reserve enjoying the view of the Bushmans River Valley during their game drive. I thought I would post a picture showing the actual view they were enjoying.
Wie of wat is die Groot Vyf? Kom ons wees meer spesifiek en sê die Groot Vyf van die diereryk, anders dink mense dalk ons praat van lande, natuurwonders of toerisme-attraksies. So, wie of wat is die Groot Vyf van die diereryk? Dis nie die vyf grootste diere of die mooiste vyf nie, maar die vyf wilde diere wat die gevaarlikste was om te voet te jag in Afrika. Ek sê was want vandag is dit niks om 'n dier vanaf die agterkant…
The recently renovated Athenaeum building in Central isn't an easy one to photograph. In the morning the whole front of the building is in shadow while the trees in front of it throws shadows on it in the afternoon. I did get a picture of the side of the building (right next to the Little Theatre) the other morning on my way to No7 Castle Hill which is just down the road.
Oh how I wish I could spend the day sitting on the rocks like this and just stare out at sea. I did have a super relaxing looooong weekend, but now its shoulder to the wheel till after Tourism Indaba. The next two weeks are going to be seriously hectic at work so please excuse if the posts doesn't have a lot of information in them. If I did decide to slip away to stare at the bay, I would probably…
Sonopkoms op die stand by Kaap Recife in Port Elizabeth met die vuurtoring in die voorgrond
One of the new art pieces on the Donkin Reserve forming part of Route 67 is a 470m2 mosaic which is seen here from the top of the lighthouse. The mosaic represents the multi-cultural heritage, diverse history and the abundant fauna and flora of both the city and the province of the Eastern Cape.
The closest I have to an aerial photo of Fort Frederick, Port Elizabeth's oldest building, is one taken from the top of the Donkin Lighthouse. The views from the lighthouse is fantastic although its a bit of a tight climb up to the top.
Taking a walk around Simon's Town after our train ride from Kalk Bay during our summer holiday in December we "stumbled" upon the South African Navy Museum . The museum is housed in and around the original Dockyard Magazine / Storehouse which dates back to 1743. After 1810 when the Royal Navy moved its headquarters from Cape Town to Simon’s Town the building was extended to become the three-storey building it is today. Just after coming through the entrance there is a number…
