Schoenmakerskop at Sunrise
On Sunday it was a beautiful morning and we took a sunrise jaunt along the coast. By the time we got there the sun was bouncing off the sea and creating wonderful mirrored areas.

Totem pole
We came acoss this brightly painted pole in Clarendon street the other day and it looks like someone had a lot of fun painting it. Unfortunately it also looks like many people have placed their offerings of litter at the base of the pole. Come on good citizens you can do better than that!

Pineview
One of the iconic buildings in Port Elizabeth Central is Pineview, which is situated between Donkin Street and Ivy Terrace.

Looking down from the top of the cliff
This is White's Road, from the edge of the cliffs in Donkin Reserve, just before sunrise. The jungle -like gardens along the side of the road give it a wonderful mysterious quality (warning to potential tourists... do not do this without your can of pepper spray handy!)

Sulfurous skies….
The sky on Monday really fitted that cliche, there was a storm brewing, lots of noise and razzle dazzle, but very little in the way of decent precipitation. But it created that amazing yellow glow you sometimes see, and everything took on an orange tinge. This photo was taken from Benno Road in Charlo, by Sally Gush. (She is sadly leaving our shores soon, and will be greatly missed, as an aquarobics instructor, she is going to be a hard…

Your one stop health shop……..
I could not resist photographing this sign, which I spotted in a street in Uitenhage recently. This really looks like a one stop shop for holistic health care African style.

leaving port at sunrise
I will never tire of watching the big ships being shepherded in and out of the harbour by the powerful little tugs, this was around 5am last Saturday. You can see the Port Captains watch tower in the background.
