Twaalf Appostels

Die Tafelbergreeks strek van Tafelberg tot by Kaappunt en het heelwat bekende pieke en landmerke wat deel van die bergreeks uitmaak. Bo en behalwe Tafelberg self is daar ook Leeukop, Duiwelspiek en Seinheuwel met die Twaalf Appostels wat die mees prominente pieke aan die Atlantiese kant van die Skiereiland is.

Shark Rock Pier in HDR

I've never used the HDR effect on any of my photo. Some people over use it but making all their pics HDR although it does enhance some pictures beautifully.

Walkway remains

Nature doesn't take nonsense from us people. Sardinia Bay in Port Elizabeth has a problematic dune that just doesn't want to stand still. A couple of years back a walkway was built across the dune to make it easier to get to the beach. But as soon as the walkway was completed the dune started … Continue reading Walkway remains →
