"We still Bezzy for the Moument"

A walk around the Reinet House Museum in Graaff-Reinet recently had me wander into the mill house in the backyard. They're currently busy with restoration work and a hand written sign on a piece of torn off cardboard caught my eye. I just had to snicker. Clearly somebody asked one of the Afrikaans workers doing … Continue reading "We still Bezzy for the Moument" →

Explore PE on an Amazing Race

If you're a regular follower of PE Daily Photo you would know that my daughter Miggie was selected to the SA Indoor Cricket Girls Team that is going on an inland tour at the end of September.

Sunrise over the Bay

I'm not an early morning person. Too much of a night owl. So one of the things I like about winter is the fact that the sun comes up later allowing me to get the occasional sunrise pic. This is a recycled one but I'm hoping to get a few again soon.

Experience South Africa in one minute

Random patterns and textures from … Continue reading Patterns and textures at InniKloof →

Towers and spires

The historic Public Library along with the even more historic St Mary's Anglican Cathedral in the city centre has a very nice collection of interesting spires and little towers.

Schoenies Forward Observation Post view

The view of the coastline from the World War II Forward Observation Post at Schoenmakerskop. This historic building is now under threat due to a company wanting to mine the sand of the dune on which the FOP is located saying that it "isn't a natural dune". What a load of hogwash!

Pincushions at Van Stadens

I haven't been to the Van Stadens Wildflower Reserve for a few months so I think it's time to swing by again to see what is in flower. This is a picture from a little while ago with Pincushions in flower.

The beacon at Cape Recife

The beacon out at Cape Recife is one of two beacons that were used for shipping purposes before the invention of modern navigation technology. The second beacon is the lollipop beacon on Marine Drive where Admiralty Road and Marine Drive comes together. Ships sailing along the coast from the west had to line up the … Continue reading The beacon at Cape Recife →
