After so much wind lately I could not let a much calmer morning go by without at least stopping for a look out over the Bay. I wasn't the only one it seems and I really liked the picture with this guy in his red shirt standing on the wall between McArthur Pool and Humewood.

Before my last trip to Johannesburg I had a closer look at the Geocaching map to see if … Continue reading The (second) longest bridge in South Africa

Coral Aloes in flower
The flowering Coral Aloes in the Karoo just north of Olifantskop was stunning again this year. We really don't have to go very far from Port Elizabeth to see nature in all it's splendor.
Cape Town’s Noon Gun. An almighty BOOM!
