Today's post features a photo by guest photographer Geoff Applewhite aka Shefetswe. Geoff is one of my fellow Geocachers and went on a cache trip around town with Grannynasty and Speedbird yesterday afternoon. While the other two were logging a cache next to the Baakens Valley in Walmer, Geoff ducked away to snap a pic of the beautiful sunset.
The sunset on Friday evening was a stunning one. Not a cloud in the sky and a beautiful orange glow along the horizon. As I was heading home I still thought how I still wished I had a good vantage point to get a nice beachfront sunset picture. But as I just got back from East London I wanted to get home and back to the family. About an hour later I had a look at Facebook and Millers Local, who lives on…
On 22 April (today if you read this post on the day it got posted) we celebrate Earth Day. Earth Day is an annual event held worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental protection. The day was first celebrated in 1970 with 192 countries now taking part each year. In celebration of Earth Day 2014 I'm posting a picture of the Swartkops River taken by fellow Geocacher Emile Hallaby, or Speedbird315 as he is known in Geocaching circles, just after sunset from Bluewater Bay. I'm posting…
The first thing I noticed on my timeline when I opened Facebook this morning was a picture by my friend Cheryl Witte along with her daily Gratitude Journal. I don't often feature other people's pictures on PEDP, but I immediately called her to ask if I could. She took the picture on her way to work looking towards the harbour from Upper Valley Road just before the sunrise. Pictures like this is exactly why one should always carry your camera with…
Wendy Isaacs-Martin e-mailed me over the weekend with some pics she had taken at Friday night's Pro20 final at St Georges. Seeing that my camera is in for repairs and I couldn't take any pics at the match, I decided to post one Wendy's pics from the night. The on field umpires were flown into St Georges Park by helicopter and dropped off right on the field. I must say that it was quite a spectacle and very different from…
We received this old photo of the Willows Resort, taken in 1959, from our friend Gaston. .. and here it is now, not so different, if you look at hese old chalets......... but there are also new chalets and a conference hall, seen here at sunrise,and as a bonus, as we stopped a bit further to photograph some of the new chalets through the fence, we had the delightful experience of watching a family of mongooses (mom, dad and 2…
Another picture from guest photographer Bongi Magongo, taken in New Brighton. This was the venue for an open air fashion show that took place there recently (cool fashions can be seen on Bongi's facebook album). And by the way, note the pavement decorations, what is it about architects and balls? hehe
Another guest photographer today..... This stunning photo was sent to us by Jan de Wet, who has spectacular views of the bay from his home. He wrote:"I took the pic of the post office during a power outage in Richmond Hill(!) the owners of the building (South African Post Office) assured me that there were people working that night, however, I never told them that I have a 24-hour view of the building from my lounge and these lights have…
