Sunset over the Knysna Lagoon

I spent the weekend in Knysna for work and didn't have a lot of free time, but that did not stop me from dashing down to the Knysna Heads just in time to catch the sunset.

I think one of the things I love most about the Port Elizabeth beachfront is that it isn't over developed like that of Durban or even Cape Town, plus that there is minimal development that has taken place between Marine Drive and the beach. Can you imagine what out beachfront would have looked like if … Continue reading Summerstrand beachfront →

Picnic in St Georges Park
