Moonrise on the Wild Coast

I spent the most amazing three days exploring the Wild Coast recently and will still post all about it in the coming weeks. Obviously there are lots of photos to share as well. In the mean time here is one I took at Wavecrest on my first night of the moon rising over the river mouth … Continue reading Moonrise on the Wild Coast →

A Color Run video from last year

This weekend the Color Run is taking place in Port Elizabeth. Unfortunately I don't have any more information to share with you about it. Not that I couldn't go and look for the information but rather more a case of not being included in any of the media releases or invitations so I didn't go … Continue reading A Color Run video from last year →

A Boardwalk snap

It isn't always easy to maintain the daily pace of Port Elizabeth Daily Photo especially if I've been as busy as I have been the last few weeks. I have travelled quite a lot for work and because of that I have picked up a lot of material for The Firefly Photo Files. Unfortunately I … Continue reading A Boardwalk snap →

Dune Ridge – a country jewel in the St Francis Bay crown

When you think St Francis Bay in the Eastern Cape you tend to think beautiful coastline and black and white houses on the canals. If you had to spend a weekend in St Francis you would probably expect your guesthouse to have stunning sea views or be situated right on the canals. Yes, but not … Continue reading Dune Ridge – a country jewel in the St Francis Bay crown →

Kiplings T-bone

The most yummy T-bone and sides I've had in a long time was this one at Kiplings at the Boardwalk Hotel a couple of weeks ago. Nom nom nom...

Camping at Sitrusoewer

A couple of weekends ago we spent a long weekend camping on the banks of the Sundays River at Sitrusoewer just outside Kirkwood. It must be one of my favorite campsites I've ever been to. The water was literally 2 meters from the front door of our tent and we spent the whole weekend either in … Continue reading Camping at Sitrusoewer →

Red Dragonfly

Even though I am known as Firefly, the Dragonfly must be my favorite insect. A long weekend at Sitrusoewer next to the Sundays River near Kirkwood had me spending a lot of time on the water in a canoe and I was amazed at seeing how many dragonflies and damselflies there were. I got this picture … Continue reading Red Dragonfly →

Boardwalk fountains (in blue)

I'm currently in Durban at Tourism Indaba promoting the Eastern Cape, learning, observing and networking. Unfortunately I also just realized that I have very much run out of pictures thanks to all the travelling I have been doing lately. So I trawled through my mobile and found a couple of pics to share with you over … Continue reading Boardwalk fountains (in blue) →

A very tall hotel

The Cascades Apartment building in Summerstrand always looked like a tall building... That was till the Radisson Blu Hotel was built. Now the Cascades look pretty tiny in comparison.
