Today's photo comes from guest photographer Bongi Magongo, who was at a fashion launch in New Brighton recently. So here is a glimpse of township or Location life (old apartheid terminology which has, with tongue in cheek, been corrupted to Loxion.....) more tomorrow. Thanks Bongi!

Pineview
One of the iconic buildings in Port Elizabeth Central is Pineview, which is situated between Donkin Street and Ivy Terrace. When you contrast this building and Cora Terrace with the earlier post on the Victoria Hotel, you can see what a difference having a heart and a passion for our City and our heritage can … Continue reading Pineview
Monthly Theme: Paths and Passages Cora Terrace

Snakes at Reptile World

Shark Rock Pier
Shark Rock Pier has featured in many of our posts, but it has many moods, so we never tire of photographing it. This shot was taken as the sun was making her presence felt and you can see her rays catching the top of the waves, from under the pier.
The Boardwalk day and night

The nice part about it is that you don't have to visit the casino to visit the Boardwalk. In actual fact the complex is a very family friendly environment. … Continue reading The Boardwalk day and night
leaving port at sunrise
I will never tire of watching the big ships being shepherded in and out of the harbour by the powerful little tugs, this was around 5am last Saturday. You can see the Port Captains watch tower in the background.
Bliss
Does it get any better than this? Last weekend of the holidays, and people were making the most of it!
