Drone footage around Shark Rock Pier

I was very excited when I saw that Renaldo Gouws had uploaded some drone footage on YouTube again. Renaldo may be best known for his political and social comment videos, but his drone videos truly are exceptional. He has upload three which I will be sharing with you on Video Friday over the next three weeks. … Continue reading Drone footage around Shark Rock Pier →

A silver morning

This morning on the way to work I just had to stop below Brookes Hill and enjoy the sight of the silver ocean sparkling all the way to the horizon

Low tide next to Hobie Beach

At high tide the rocky stretch of beach between Hobie Beach and Pollok Beach is mostly covered by water, but at low tide it's all exposed and looks rather barren. Bird Rock can be seen on the horizon in the middle of the picture and Chop Rock to the left.

Plus it is still school holidays so there are lots of people around strolling along the boardwalk, on the pier and even … Continue reading Isn’t it supposed to be winter? →

Pollok to Hobie

I took this picture looking from the rocks at Pollok Beach back towards Hobie Beach the other day just as the little army chopper came flying past. Was wondering if I should post the picture when I saw somebody with a similar pic as their masthead pic on Facebook. At least I'm not the only … Continue reading Pollok to Hobie →

Shark Rock Pier compass

If you've ever been on the Port Elizabeth beachfront you would know Shark Rock Pier, one of Port Elizabeth's most prominent and well known landmarks. Most of us (and I say most of us because not everybody gets the opportunity to visit the beachfront on a leisure basis) have walked on the Pier, but have … Continue reading Shark Rock Pier compass →

Doggy walk for Animal Welfare

Yesterday (Saturday) morning we took the sausages for a walk on the beach along with probably a hundred or so other pooches as part of a fundraiser for Animal Welfare. The weather was perfect and the dogs and their human servants had a great time out. So interesting watching everybody with the dogs of different … Continue reading Doggy walk for Animal Welfare →
