A little while ago I got to go on an Instawalk around the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium and was looking for something a little different than just a straight forward stadium photo. Just holding the camera at an angle did the trick for me. What do you think?

Caching on the Cockscomb road
Last weekend we attended a Geocaching weekend at Welgelegen Camp on the Cockscomb road outside Uitenhage. Over the weekend we got to do over 50 new caches and events along with walks in the game area and spending time with good friends. Geocaching heaven. On the way back from the camp there is 20 km … Continue reading Caching on the Cockscomb road
A video postcard from Port Elizabeth
While looking for a video to post for today I found this video postcard by Hostelworld. Its just over three minutes long and covers beaches, history, game reserves and a couple of general attractions around the city. It's not an expensive and flashy production but really shows off what the city has to offer. Something a lot … Continue reading A video postcard from Port Elizabeth
Morning view of Graaff-Reinet
Graaff-Reinet is one of my favorite towns to visit for so many reasons. I spent a night in this beautiful Karoo Heartland town a week or so ago arriving on a Sunday afternoon for a Monday morning meeting. Getting up early the morning I headed out to one of the view points looking out over … Continue reading Morning view of Graaff-Reinet
Bushbuck Trail pictorial part 2
Today's post is the second of two picture collages I made after my walk on the Bushbuck Trail in the Island Nature Reserve a while ago. I posted the first collage yesterday but have to apologise right off the bat. For some reason I referred to the trail as the Grysbok Trail yesterday and didn't … Continue reading Bushbuck Trail pictorial part 2

The reserve forms a sub section of the Baviaanskloof Mega Reserve and comprises 480 ha of indigenous Alexandria coastal forest boasting … Continue reading The Bushbuck Trail
Surfers heading into the sea at Pipe
Port Elizabeth may not be Jeffreys Bay when it comes to being famous for surfing, but we do have a couple of half decent surf spots. Pipe next to Pollok Beach are one of those and I snapped these two surfers heading into the waves there a little while ago.
The Gideon Scheepers Monument
Most people visiting the Karoo town of Graaff-Reinet take a drive out to the Valley of Desolation to enjoy the magnificent views of the town and surrounding Karoo plains as well as the very sheer cliffs and unique Dolerite stone columns of the valley. I wonder how many people have spotted the monument on the left as … Continue reading The Gideon Scheepers Monument
A view of Shark Rock Pier
Port Elizabeth has 40 kilometers of sandy beaches and that isn't counting the rocky shoreline in-between. Our main beachfront is our pride and joy with beaches like Kings Beach, Humewood, Hobie and Pollok Beach attracting thousands of visitors every week. And that's just the locals. I wonder how many people remember what Hobie Beach looked … Continue reading A view of Shark Rock Pier
Fishing at Maitland
It is Sunday the first of March. Flip, can you believe we're two months into 2015 already? Anyhow, I've spent my weekend at Welgelegen Camp on a Geocaching weekend away but not everybody is into caching. Some people spent their time on the beach while others headed out of town or tackled one of the … Continue reading Fishing at Maitland
