Atlantic seaboard sunset

One of South Africa's most popular sunset view sites is from Signal Hill in Cape Town. Visitors and locals alike head up to its lookout spots to see the sun set over the Atlantic Ocean. And that is exactly what I did last week on a whirlwind visit to the city for a tourism e-marketing summit. … Continue reading Atlantic seaboard sunset →

Donkin from the Campanile

Climbing the 204 steps to the top of the Campanile one would think that you would be in one of the highest spots in the city centre (this is no chirp at the fact that PE doesn't have a lot of high rise buildings), but once you are up there you realise that the Donkin … Continue reading Donkin from the Campanile →

Danger Rip Current

Eersterivier in the Tsitsikamma is a beautiful piece of coastline with stunning swimming spots between the rock. If you do decided to hit the ocean itself you have to be careful of the rip currents created by all the reefs and rocks as indicated by this sign I photographed at sunset.

Succulent flowers

I have succulents like these in my rock garden but it was great to find this patch in Settlers Park a few week ago. They make for a nice ground cover and is beautiful with their pink flowers.

St Georges Bridge

Probably one of my favorite spots in St Georges Park. The railway sleeper bridge near the Pearson Conservatory. I should look under it one day to see if there is a troll that lives there.

Skateboarding at Kings Beach

It shows a couple of local skateboarders doing their thing at the skate park at Kings Beach.

Roesemaat

Nieu-Bethesda in the Karoo is one of those interesting little towns that one just can't afford to miss. Home to the Owl House, Kitching Fossil Centre, guesthouses, restaurants, a micro brewery and so much more yet the town (or should I perhaps call it a village?) doesn't have a petrol station, atm or even a … Continue reading Roesemaat →

Fishing boats in the harbour

Standing at the top of the Campanile one tends to wonder how many have never seen the views from up here. I can understand somebody who is unable to climb for whatever reason not to go to the top, but most others who have never been there is probably to some degree just too lazy … Continue reading Fishing boats in the harbour →

Harbour in sepia

After posting a picture featuring the Port Elizabeth Harbour on Tuesday, I decided to do another one. This time its an fairly empty harbor photographed from Fort Frederick and posted in sepia. I always love the "harbor giraffes".

Export cars on PE Harbour

Nelson Mandela Bay is a motoring mecca with General Motors situated in Port Elizabeth and VW in Uitenhage as well as numerous other motor related factories manufacturing everything from engines and catalytic converters to bolts and rubber tubing. Both GM and VW export their cars through the Port Elizabeth Harbour and from the top of … Continue reading Export cars on PE Harbour →
