I've been looking at old posts and dates and realised its been just over four years since I took over Port Elizabeth Daily Photo from Sue and Max. WOW, I can't believe that I've been at it for four years already. I also noticed that in a couple of weeks PEDP is coming up to 2000 posts of which by then I would have done 1500.

The view from the top of the Donkin Lighthouse is truly magnificent doesn't matter which way you look. This is looking south at the beachfront. Click on the picture to see the original size.
Yet again I spent nearly a week in Durban for Tourism Indaba with very little time to get out and take a couple of photos. I did get to take a walk along the beachfront at South Beach on the morning of my departure and managed this panorama shot from one of the piers. Click on the picture to see the enlarged version.
This panorama picture of Hout Bay was taken from the world famous Chapmans Peak Drive
The view from the top of Table Mountain must be one of the most beautiful city views in the world with Cape Town at your feet and stretching away in the distance to the right and Table Bay and the Atlantic Ocean azure blue on the left.I've pointed out a couple of Cape Town's main landmarks as seen from one of the lookouts on top of Table Mountain.
