Drama Princess doing the "Instagram pose" on the beachfront during the Instawalk a couple of weeks ago. I really like the reflection in the pond along the Kings Beach promenade and she makes the perfect subject. Not that she needs any excuse to pose for a photograph.

North End view across Albany Road
A couple of weeks ago I was in Richmond Hill one Saturday afternoon for a function. I had a couple of minutes before things started and took a drive over to the old Erica Building. This is the view across Albany Road towards North End and Algoa Bay. The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is just … Continue reading North End view across Albany Road
Scenic views of Patensie and surrounds
A couple of weeks ago I spent a couple of days touring around the Eastern Cape with a group of journalists and one of our stops was in the Gamtoos Valley town of Patensie. After a visit at the Malan Cucumber Farm we were taken up to their new cucumber tunnels on a koppie outside … Continue reading Scenic views of Patensie and surrounds
The good ol’ windpomp, from underneith
We all know what a windpomp looks like. Don't know what a windpomp is? NO! Really? Hahahaha... Ok, so perhaps you've heard of a windpump or windmill? To most of us its just a windpomp, doesn't matter if you say it in English or Afrikaans. Or perhaps even Xhosa. I should ask one of my … Continue reading The good ol’ windpomp, from underneith
The NMMU Nature Reserve and Grysbok Trail
Over the weekend I spent some time on the Grysbok Trail in the NMMU Private Nature Reserve doing the series of Geocaches that's been placed there recently. I wonder how many people actually know of the trail. The NMMU campus was declared a Private Nature Reserve in 1983 and covers 830 ha. The reserve is made up mainly … Continue reading The NMMU Nature Reserve and Grysbok Trail

Coral Trees are very distinctive in that they loose their leaves in autumn and have brilliant orange flowers before … Continue reading Coral Tree hides are tricky

As Port Elizabeth forms part of the Nelson Mandela Bay metro I decided to make today's Friday Video a tribute to Madiba. I picked up this one of Johnny Clegg doing Asimbonanga along with a group of kids specially for today.
My Mandela House selfie
I recently had the privilege to go on a Soweto Tour with City Sightseeing Joburg and one of our stops was Mandela House in Vilakazi Street. Last time I was in Soweto they were still busy with the renovations on the house so I took the opportunity to visit and have a look. There are various quotes … Continue reading My Mandela House selfie
St Phillips church revisited
Back in the early days of PE Daily Photo before I took over from Sue and Max, the St Philips Anglican Church in Richmond Hill got featured on a fairly regular basis, specially around sunrise or sunset. That's because Sue and Max live just up the road from it. I on the other hand live … Continue reading St Phillips church revisited
The Constitutional Court and the Joburg skyline
The Constitution Court is the highest court in South Africa and is situated on Constitution Hill in Johannesburg. Surrounded by what used to be the Number 4 Prison, the Old Fort and the Women's Jail, the court forms part of Constitution Hill and can be visited while on a tour of the precinct. I didn't get to go on the … Continue reading The Constitutional Court and the Joburg skyline
