During my last visit to the Seaview Predator Park I snapped a couple of pics of their two Hyenas and wanted to share this one with you. Since my visit the two, named Ed and Shenzi, has been returned to the reserve they came from as babies and word is that they are doing great and have found … Continue reading Preditor Park hyena

Walking past the Voting Line
I just can't get enough of Route 67 and all it's art pieces. There are so many possibilities for photographers looking for interesting angles and subjects. The Voting Line is one of my favourite pieces and for some reason I've only photographed it looking towards the lighthouse and pyramid. Visiting the other day there was … Continue reading Walking past the Voting Line
Bus station mural
The Bus Station Mural by 4 Blind Mice which forms part of Route 67 is probably the one piece which I would love to have seen somewhere else. Not because I think that it doesn't fit perfectly in the bus station, but because I would love more people to see it. Its colourful and vibrant … Continue reading Bus station mural
Enjoying scenic views
Visitors to South Africa are treated to the most beautiful views as they travel through our country. Coastal views, views of the land from the sea, looming mountain views, views from mountains, scenic drives, hilly landscapes, flat landscapes, cityscapes, river gorges, animals on the plains and so I can go on and on and on .....

The crowning pigeon
I don't quite think I would like to be a statue. Yes, people walk past you and remember you every day, tourists stop by and take pictures and you have lots of feathered company but the problem is those same feathered friends and what they leave behind when they fly off again. Passing Queen Vic in … Continue reading The crowning pigeon
Waterhole interaction
A couple of young bulls interacting at the Hapoor Waterhole in the Addo Elephant National Park just like a couple of young men would at their local watering hole
History of St Georges Park
Last weekend I was part of the most informative walking tour of St Georges Park. Photographer and journalist Ivor Markman has done some tremendous research on the park and it's history over the years and in the process not just collected tons of interesting information, but also some very rare photographs. Here he is showing … Continue reading History of St Georges Park
Old railway shed roof
While visiting the Nelson Mandela Bay Science and Technology Centre in Uitenhage the other day I took a walk through the adjacent old railway sheds. There are future plans to turn them into a shopping centre but at the moment they're standing empty. The sheds are a photographer's dream though for both urban photographs as well as … Continue reading Old railway shed roof
South African Heavy Artillery Memorial in Durban
I wouldn't really call war memorials a specific interest on my side, but I really enjoy discovering historic sites and attractions. Just about every city and town in South Africa has a war memorial of some sort and Durban is no different. Usually cities have a number of war related memorials and the first one … Continue reading South African Heavy Artillery Memorial in Durban
