A beachfront New Year timelapse

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuTKcAdzXgY&w=500&h=400]The past two weeks have been hectic.  I've been to the SATSA conference in Stellenbosch and a Karoo Heartland meeting in Jansenville, spent way too much time catching up (and I'm not even there yet) and in the process of all of this missed a few posts in the last week.  I even thought about just taking a break for a few weeks but then realised that somewhere I'll have to catch up again. Anyhow, it's Video Friday and today's…

Discover Freedom destination video

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO5kb_-nrhA&w=500&h=400]For a big period of the time that I worked for Nelson Mandela Bay the tagline used by the organisation was "Discover Freedom".  It was a play on words using the link of Nelson Mandela's name and freedom from Apartheid but also referred to the freedom the city offers visitors to choose what they want to do without saying "you have to do this or that", our wide open spaces, wildlife and many attractions.  When I started working there in…

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBfPkYiARHs&w=500&h=400]While looking around YouTube in search of a video to post for this week's Video Friday post I came across this one featuring video footage from the late 50's and 60's. Not a lot of vintage footage like this around.

Dolphins of Port Elizabeth video

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_K90dB3ZAo&w=500&h=400]Port Elizabeth and Algoa Bay isn't called the Bottlenose Dolphin Capital of the World for nothing.  I picked up on this video posted by Judy Venter on YouTube which Judy filmed off the pier from her kayak.  Amazing seeing these animals so close up in the wild.
