Port Elizabeth From Above by Chasing the Rainbow

Oh how I would love to have a drone and to be able to shoot Port Elizabeth and the Eastern Cape from the air. Unfortunately for me I have other financial priorities and just don't have the budget to buy one. Maybe one day when I'm big. One day. In the meantime I'll just have … Continue reading Port Elizabeth From Above by Chasing the Rainbow →

Geocaching Monkey

So this morning I was woken up by my neighbour's contractor starting early on this public holiday, spent a little time in bed with the wife and the daxies, played some Play Station with the KidZ and then we cleaned house, cleansed house and... yes, cleaned house. Late afternoon I headed out for a little … Continue reading Geocaching Monkey →

What is Jukskei?

A couple of months ago on a road trip to Johannesburg I detoured through the town of Kroonstad in the Northern Free State to stretch my legs and... well... you know... find a geocache or two. One of the caches I was after is located at a holiday resort called Jukskei Park and on arrival … Continue reading What is Jukskei? →

Courtyard Hotel pool

Last night Travel Massive Port Elizabeth hosted a networking event at the Courtyard Hotel sponsored by the Courtyard and Town Lodge. Before the formalities we had drinks outside by the pool and I must say that the hotel must have one of the best pool views around. The best part is that one would … Continue reading Courtyard Hotel pool →

Then and Now – Baakens River Bridge

We all know the Baakens River flows through Port Elizabeth and that most of the Baakens Valley is protected green open spaces all the way from Sunridge Park, past the 3rd Avenue Dip, through Walmer and Mill Park to Settlres Park. It really is a pity that the municipality doesn't look after the well being … Continue reading Then and Now – Baakens River Bridge →

It’s not just always out and about with me

Some people think I'm always out and about, traveling all over getting to explore, experience, have fun and take photos. Well, let's just say I put in way more office time driving my desk than being out there. It just looks the other way around. Today is such a day and with no photos in … Continue reading It’s not just always out and about with me →

Then and Now – Donkin Reserve – the lighthouse and pyramid

About two and a half years ago (can it really be so long already?) I did a Then and Now for the Donkin Reserve featuring photos taken from the sea side of the lighthouse and pyramid. Last week I passed by the Donkin on my way to a meeting and snapped one from the other … Continue reading Then and Now – Donkin Reserve – the lighthouse and pyramid →

Why we love The Pier – Herald LIVE

I don't make videos for my blogs. I wish I had time to do so, but it's a luxury I don't have much of. Instead I have to normally surf the net and in particular YouTube to find videos to post for Video Friday. I have seen a lot of good drone footage on Facebook … Continue reading Why we love The Pier – Herald LIVE →

The Aloes are in bloom

One of my favorite things about this time of the year (early winter) is the fact that the aloes are in bloom. A little road trip through the Karoo Heartland had me stop once or twice to snap a few pictures, but mostly I just enjoyed the sight of them next to the road. A lot … Continue reading The Aloes are in bloom →

The chair lady of the Donkin

Anton Momberg's "Untitled Piece", forming part of Route 67, standing proud on the Donkin Reserve. Some call her the lady with the chair but for the first time did I realise that she could also be the "chairlady" of the Donkin Reserve
