Walmer sunset by Shefetswe

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.

Red sky at night, sailors delight

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…

Harbour sunset

I love to photograph sunrises and sunsets.  Unfortunately I don't get myself up early enough in summer for a sunrise (although the chances are better to snap one in winter) I get sunset pics a bit more often (although not nearly as much as I would like to).  This sunset I snapped after cruising on Algoa Bay on the Jester as we returned to the Port Elizabeth harbor.

Willows sunset

Late last year we spent an evening at Willows Resort with the in-laws and this was the sunset from in front of chalet.  You couldn't ask for better.

Sunset from the lighthouse

The view from the top of the Donkin Lighthouse is my absolute favorite view in Port Elizabeth.  Combine it with a setting sun over Central and you get an even better one.

Harbour giraffes at sunrise

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…
