Yesterday I posted a photo of Shark Rock Pier all lit up since it's revamp as seen from Hobie Beach. I thought I'll follow it up with a photo from the other side. I think I prefer this one of the two. Perhaps it's just the angle that is tighter or the fact that there are rocks on this side. Which ever, I like it.I have a question for you today and you can either give me your opinion as a…
The lights under the newly revamped Shark Rock Pier really lights up the water making for great photography. That along with the spotlight on the beach could even lead to extended bathing on those hot barmy summer evenings.
Over the weekend the local Geocaching community went on a Ghost Walk through Central led by Rose Trehaeven. The walk was organised by fellow cacher Graham Chrich (better known in caching circles as Plainoldgraham) and he kept those of us who couldn't make it updated via our WhatsApp group with pictures to show us what we were missing. He took this picture in front of the Grey Institute and as soon as he had posted it one of the other…
When was the last time you've passed by the Donkin Reserve after dark. Well I did last week and snapped this pic of the Grey Institute. For those who don't know the history of the building, here it is. In the mid 1800's there was a boom happening in Port Elizabeth. It was during this time that Sir George Grey, Governor of the Cape from 1854-61, played a leading role in the establishment of educational institutes throughout the colony. At the…
PE Daily Photo regular, Gerhard Burger, sent me this picture yesterday. It seems he is a bit of a night wolf and his comment in the email: "People don't know what they are missing when they go to sleep before midnight." Good thing the moon wasn't full otherwise the night wolf would have been running around on all fours down the street it seems.
The peak summer holidays might be over but it doesn't mean that we have to stop going out to explore and experience out beautiful city. That we can do all year around. Something you can't do in winter though as the lights are only on in summer (unless they change that in future) is Happy Valley. So if you haven't been to Happy Valley this summer, why not get a few family, friends and kids together and head down there…
Today was one of those days. You know, those where you just want to disappear off the radar for a while so nobody can find you. I feel tired and stressed and its all thanks to having my car stolen last week. Not just my car but also my backpack that was in the boot with my whole life in it. Except for the fact that we're going to have to make debt to buy a new car. The car…

It looks like an advert for Aquatique Show who could be the company who installed the fountains at the Boardwalk. The video is spectacular and really shows off how awesome this show really is.
After yesterday's post on Happy Valley there was a comment by Grunt saying - "I understood that visitors get mugged when visiting Happy Valley. Used to love it as a child, but based on what I have heard, I tell visitors to avoid it." There probably hasn't been a mugging in Happy Valley for close to a decade. Yes, it was a problem area but it has been cleaned up and sorted out. The municipality even has two security guards stationed…
