Unlike my brother who has provincial colours for fresh water fishing, I'm not a fisherman. I don't have the patience for it. I would much rather go for a walk with my camera and find something interesting to photograph. Perhaps its the same thing, just different. Its the same with Geocaching. I can spend hours … Continue reading Fisherman on the Wildside

Shark Rock Pier on a sunny day
Everybody loved the beach in summer, but there is no reason not to love it in winter as well. Specially on a warm sunny day like today. Only difference is you can't go for a swim. Personally I think winter is the best time for long walks on the beach or the adjoining boardwalk. At … Continue reading Shark Rock Pier on a sunny day
Sharing my passions with the KidZ
I'm very fortunate that both the KidZ adore the outdoors. They're mad about camping, they're addicted to geocaching, they love travelling and exploring and are slowly starting to show an interest in photography. All this means that I can share my passions with them and we can always find something new to do or somewhere different to go. I'm just … Continue reading Sharing my passions with the KidZ
Umhlanga Pier
Many visitors to the beachfront at Umhlanga Rocks take a walk onto the 80 meter long Umhlanga Pier to enjoy the view of the coastline and the Umhlanga Lighthouse close by. What many of these visitors don't know though is that the pier was actually built to assist with the dispersal of storm water into … Continue reading Umhlanga Pier
The Sacramento Trail in pictures
Following Thursday's post on the Sacramento Trail in Port Elizabeth I noticed that I had preciously upload a whole series of pictures taken along the trail on a recent outing. It's been sitting in my drafts folder all this time waiting to be posted and I think it will serve as a follow up to the … Continue reading The Sacramento Trail in pictures

The name and concept of Earth Day was pioneered at a UNESCO Conference in San Francisco by John McConnell in 1969 . He proposed 21 March 1970, the first … Continue reading Breathtaking views
Wild coastline
The rugged coastline of the southern Wild Coast at Morgan Bay, an area I'm hoping to be able to explore a bit more next year some time.
Kaap die Goeie Hoop
Die Kaap die Goeie Hoop is die naam van die mees suid-westelike landpunt van Afrika en is letterlik 'n klipgooi van Kaappunt af geleë. Dit is tradisioneel (en verkeerdelik net soos met Kaappunt) geag as die punt waar die Atlantiese Oseaan en die Indiese Oseaan mekaar ontmoet, terwyl die eintlike ontmoetingspunt verder ooswaarts by Kaap Agulhas - … Continue reading Kaap die Goeie Hoop
Noetzie – Kastele op die strand
So 'n paar kilometer buite die Tuinroete dorp Knysna, aan die einde van 'n grondpad, is 'n baie unieke plek met die naam Noetzie. Noetzie (Khoi-San vir Donker Water) het 'n pragtige strand en strandmeer omring deur inheemse woude, maar wat Noetzie laat uitstaan is die feit dat daar verskeie kastele langs die strand is. Die area is reg van Knysna … Continue reading Noetzie – Kastele op die strand
Kaappunt se vuurtorings
Kaappunt in die Kaap van Goeie Hoop Natuurreservaat is seker een van die plekke wat die meeste besoekers ontvang in Suid Afrika. Alhoewel Kaappunt nie die mees suidelikste punt in Afrika is nie, is dit die suidelikste punt van die Kaapse Skiereiland en een van die plekke waarheen besoekers gaan as hulle om die Skiereiland toer. Die ou … Continue reading Kaappunt se vuurtorings
