The older Port Elizabeth residence all remember the 1968 flood, something that gets brought up quite often when big rains come around. I was born nearly a decade later but have seen many pictures of it over the years. I discovered this video on YouTube with a number of video clips of that fateful day … Continue reading The 1968 floods video footage

Exit the tunnel
I snapped this pic of one of the boys at Chaos Boy's birthday party as he walked out of one of the mines at Sleepy Hollow where the party took place. I just liked the shot for some reason.

The best part for me about this time of the … Continue reading Enjoying the beach before winter

This last of the photos I took on an outing with the Sundays River Valley a little while ago. This is the view down to the river from the crest of the first dune. Take note, the first dune and not the highest one yet. Only about a quarter of the way there.
The ferry on the Sundays River
The Sundays River Ferry pulled up to the dunes for the passengers to climb to the top to enjoy the surrounding view.
