Who painted the moon black?

Yesterday (15 June 2011) was a bit of a cloudy day and I kept on looking skyward with the hope that the clouds would clear. Why?

Total lunar eclipse

Last night we had the opportunity to observe not just a total lunar eclipse, but also a relatively rare central lunar eclipse in which the center point of Earth's shadow passes over the Moon.

Casino lights

There are so many angles that you can take photos of the lights at the Boardwalk Entertainment Complex in the evenings.

It would have been slightly … Continue reading You spin me right round… →

City lights

Port Elizabeth doesn't have a proper high point from where you can enjoy views across the city like in Cape Town. I do love the view from up at Lovemore Heights though, especially at night when the city lights stretch away into the distance.

Opening of the Season fireworks

Last night the annual Opening of the Season fireworks took place at Hobie Beach after it was postponed due to rainy weather the previous night. I really didn't feel like taking on the crowds and traffic jams on the beachfront for a couple of pictures, so I decided to head up to Lovemore Heights to … Continue reading Opening of the Season fireworks →
