Not long ago I spent a night at Angler and Antelope Guesthouse in Somerset East. Coming out of the guesthouse on my way to dinner, the near full moon was rising in the east over clouds painted bright pink by the setting sun behind me. I rushed back to my room to grab my car keys, dashed to the car to get my camera and by the time I got back to my view spot most of the pink had…
Last week I got to attend the opening of the Le Vino Wine and Tapas Bar at the Boardwalk complex in Port Elizabeth. The restaurant has an upstairs area with a balcony overlooking the Boardwalk lake and it was here we were toasting the end of another beautiful day in the Bay while the sun was going down. The sky was stunning and this is exactly why I always like to have my camera with me.
An afternoon trip to Addo for an early evening meeting had me arrive in the area an hour or so early. Problem? Not at all. Doesn't matter where you are, if you have a passion for travel and is a Geocacher to boot, there will always be something to see, do or find. This day was no different. I decided to take a leisurely drive up the Zuurberg Pass to pick up a Geocache I hadn't done before plus it's…
There is nothing like a beautiful sunset to end off a perfect day. Sunset over the distant mountains during our recent weekend in The Crags near Plettenberg Bay
You know when you've experienced something that you just want to share over and over again? My Wild Coast trip was like that (heck, sometimes I feel every trip I go on is like that) and I wish I could transport you all to the day I spend at Wavecrest Hotel and getting up to a perfect windless morning. Getting up just before sunset with not a ripple on the lagoon. Ahhh, absolute bliss.
The Wild Coast. Creates pictures in one's head of rugged coastlines, rough seas, shipwrecks and storms... Or in this case a sunrise over the Nxaxo River Mouth on a windless morning.
The Wild Coast is literally just a couple of stone skips away from where I am based in Port Elizabeth, yet except for quick visits to Morgan Bay and Trennereys I've never explored it properly. Some people even told me that those are situated on the Mild Coast and that I would have to venture further north to be able to properly say that I've been to the Wild Coast. In May circumstances allowed me to spend a few days…
On my last visit to Cape Town I wanted to make sure I got to see the Madiba inspired "sunglasses" placed next to the promenade at Sea Point. The art piece was created by artist Michael Elion, in conjunction with the City of Cape Town as part of World Design Capital 2014 and was in the news recently when it was defaced. I popped by early morning before heading off to World Travel Market Africa which I was attending... ... and…
In my home town of Port Elizabeth we get the sun rising over the sea giving beautiful sunrise picture opportunities along the beachfront. In Cape Town its the total opposite. Sunset is enjoyed with the Atlantic Ocean as setting. Usually when I am in Cape Town I like to head up to Signal Hill at least once to enjoy sunset. During my last visit I decided to rather head down to the Sea Point Promenade. A rather good choice me…
I snapped this pic during a canal cruise at St Francis Bay a week or two ago. During the trip we cruised out onto the Krom River as the sun was setting in the west behind the Kouga Wind Farm. Have I mentioned how much I love my new camera?
