Last week the Damselfly and I got to fly to Johannesburg for the annual Lilizela Awards of which I was one of the judges. Even though I get to road trip quite often working for ECTOUR, I don't fly nearly as much as I did in my previous job. When I do and I fly alone, … Continue reading City coastline aerial

Coega in the distance
Coega Harbour seen from Bluewater Bay Beach. Notice the two oil rigs currently being worked on in the harbour.
Stadium view from the beach
You know how it can happen that you see something every day without registering that you've actually seen it. A good example is a fading sign outside a building. You don't always realise its faded until somebody points it out to you and you have a proper look. Well, I think the view of the Nelson … Continue reading Stadium view from the beach
Star Wars in PE
After a late meeting on the beachfront last week I decided to snap a couple of pictures before heading home. Looking down to the Port Elizabeth Harbour through a bit of haze it looked like a Star Wars Imperial Walker have joined the Harbour Giraffes. Just in case you don't know what a Imperial Walker is, … Continue reading Star Wars in PE

Have you ever walked along Kings Beach all the way to the harbour wall? Not? Then I bet you have never seen Kings Beach from this angle. A little while ago I did just that and sneaked onto the harbour wall for a bit till a security guard looked at us funny. So we turned … Continue reading Looking along Kings Beach
Sunset over PE Harbour
I took this photo late afternoon as the sun was setting over the city as seen returning to the harbor after cruising along the beachfront on the Jester.
Fishing in the Baakens Mouth
A week or two ago we went for lunch at This is Eat at the Port Elizabeth harbor and I was watching a couple of fishermen fishing where the Baakens River (Mouth) and the harbor meets. Going back to the pre-1960's this whole area around the harbor was where the residents of the old South End … Continue reading Fishing in the Baakens Mouth
Yacht Club yachts
