Empty highway

Some abandoned highway somewhere after the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse? Nope, the N2 just past Coega, taken from the overpass at just the right time to show an empty road.

Coega wind turbine

Before all these wind farm that have been going up at Jbay, the Tsitsikamma, Blue Horizon Bay and on the Addo Road there was only one.

I flew back from Johannesburg last week (and boy were my arms tired) and for a change I was sitting by a window on the right side of the plane with an approach over the bay. My camera was at the ready to get a couple of aerial shots but I just about lost all light … Continue reading Coega Harbour aerial at sunset →
