I have seen stunning photos of the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium with some of the best interior ones being taken from the top tow of seats right in the very corner. So late last year during the IRB 7’s I decided to venture up into the nose bleed section and get my own photo. Mmmmm…. Quite clearly the stunning pics I’ve seen were taken with a SLR with wide angle lens. Both of which I don’t have. So for now I have to be happy with the pic I got. Maybe one day…
That is one fine, and big, stadium. It looks larger than anything I have seen. My Skywatch Post

Amazing! Thanks for the explanation, too! Something else!
that’s a major event; i’m sure the electricity in anticipation of the event is already all over the city. my husband would surely stay up watching the games.enjoy the weekend.
Lovely shots…really interesting.. been hearing lots about, the stadium over here.
what a great opportunity that was to see that being built. Super photos……Gill in Canada
Great and different series for Sky Watch. 🙂
This is amazing – hopefully I’ll get to see it sometime. I’m a homesick S African, living in the US. Was hoping to visit this year, but doesn’t look likely at this point. I’m soothing myself with the audio books of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. A great listen, for sure.
It is an awesomw sight.
Wow, what a great structure to have. And nice skywatch from that open view of the stadium.
Impressive!
Just great to see, and I have to show this pictures to my housband, the football idiot!! :-))Happy weekend to you from Anne in Norway 🙂
That is really impressive! I must say I saw pictures of the stadium in Durban the other day and that impressed me too. I really did not think we would be ready for this, but you know what? I think I might be pleasantly surprised! Lucky you to be able to visit!
This is very impressive, looks like the big stadiums we have here in Germany for the last World Soccer competition.I’m looking forward to seeing what Green Point looks like, the last time I was there was for the Robbie Williams SA tour…I’m a huge Robbie fan by the way…*giggle*
What unique shots – and very interesting. Great captures.
Very interesting post…nice color too…and some good sky views..
Good heavens, what a huge project! It’s amazing to me how these construction workers are able to put it all together. It is going to be a beautiful stadium! Great shots of the work in progress!

Impressive stadium.
That's an awesome lookin' stadium. Named for a great man, too. Cheers!
WOW!!!!
Impressive building. The scale of all our new stadia is mind-boggling. Must have been a great atmosphere with capacity crowd.
Incredible stadium shots! Very well done. (Sorry your team lost…..)
It's a great shot.I want a SLR too.
From the quality of your shots I always assumed you were using a top-of-the-range SLR. Are you going to tell us what you use?
Maybe we'll both live that dream one day! Anyway… I like your photo…
