Kouga Sunset

Sunset over the Gamtoos River Valley to the west of Port Elizabeth. The Gamtoos River Valley is prime farming area. This lower part of the valley is ideal for dairy farming while higher up in the valley they farm with citrus (mostly oranges) and vegetables (mostly potatoes). The Kouga Dam, one of Port Elizabeth’s main water supply dams, are also situated higher up in the river.

    You have captured a wonderful sunburst over such an incredibly fertile river plain. Our two great countries are very similar in many ways and it is good to be able to compare and contrast.
