This is a bit of an unusual view of Shark Rock Pier. I know it's a view a lot of people have seen before, but if you zoom in with the camera over a distance this angle puts Kings Beach and the city centre right behind the pier.
Normally people would go to a game reserve to see giraffes but did you know there is a group of 20 giraffes on the Port Elizabeth beachfront? What do you call a group or collection of giraffes?Corps of giraffesHerd of giraffesTower of giraffesJourney of giraffesWhile we are at it.

As one who works in the tourism industry I love seeing planes flying in over the Port Elizabeth beachfront. I don't just see it as a plane going to the Port Elizabeth Airport. I see it as visitors coming to Port Elizabeth to experience this beautiful place and everything it and the surrounding areas have to offer.
The old Humewood slipway is one of the city's landmarks that often pop in in photos of the beachfront. Oh look, it just popped up again.

A meeting after work last week meant that I was on the beachfront after sunset and it gave me a chance to snap a few pics. I'm still figuring out the settings on my new SLR so played around and then realised that I should have had my tripod to really get some nice pictures. This was the best of the ones I got and only once I downloaded it did I realise it was blurry. Darn! But decided to share…
It's a misty morning. Waves lapping at the beach. Gulls gathering on the sand before the first dog walker passes and Butch decides to chase them off. Activity in the harbour beyond. Traffic on Beach Road. Morning on Kings Beach.

Last week we had some stormy weather pass over Port Elizabeth. Rain, cold and very rough and high seas were the order of the day. I stopped on my way to work one morning and this was the scene looking towards Humewood and Hobie Beaches.
Saturday morning I braved the cold to head down to the beachfront for the weekly Hobie Beach parkrun. To say the air was crisp is an understatement and you could see runners head to their cars quickly to take off their warm tops just before the run started. As always I had my camera with me and I snapped this pic at about 7:30ish. I need to brave the cold mornings more often.
