Wrecked walkway
A couple of years ago the municipality built a walkway from one of the parking lots at Sardinia Bay across a big dune to give easier access to the beach. The problem is that the dune is slowly moving and didn't like this walkway built across its back. This is what's left of it.

Knersus’ teeth.
When I was growing up there was an Afrikaans kiddies show on South African tv called Oscar en Knersus. Oscar was a rabbit while Knersus was a big Pterodactyls with huge teeth. Knersus was always trying to catch Oscar. For some reason we always called these plants Knersus' teeth because the look like teeth. I haven't been able to find the proper name, so if anybody know...

Pretty little flowers

Cuyler Manor Museum
The Cuyler Manor Museum in Uitenhage was built as a homestead for General Jacob Glen Cuyler, who was the Landdrost of Uitenhage from 1806 to 1827.

Fishermen or Anglers?
What are the difference between fishermen and anglers? In my book, fishermen are the guys who actually catch fish and anglers are those who ... well, get home and tell you about the big one that got away. Here my Boet (sitting) and his buddy Phil is fishing angling on the banks of the Gamtoos River. The previous day they went out with the boat for about 3 hours and got nothing. On this morning they got about 6 tiny…
