Jump

The Rugrats have learned that when they see me with camera in hand, somebody is gonna be asked to stand in a photo somewhere. At least they don't object that much anymore. I wanted to get a nice "jump in the air shadow" pic with the pier in the background (to have an excuse to … Continue reading Jump →

Matriarch

Today (9 August) is National Women's Day here in South Africa and I would like to pay tribute to women everywhere by posting a picture of a female elephant. Confused? Don't be. Elephant family groups are lead by matriarchs. What they say goes and they lead by example. I have even seen them "tell off" … Continue reading Matriarch →

Hobie Beach at low tide

This pic may just look familiar. Yes, just look above at the image at the title of the blog. I realised that I have never posted this pic in its entirety, so here it is. It was taken at low tide a little futher down Hobie Beach and looking back Shark Rock Pier.

Popping down to Hobie Beach the other day, I noticed how nicely Shark Rock Pier was framing the guy on the jet ski riding the waves on the other side. Looking at the picture afterwards I had to laugh. The picture is perfectly set up in the thirds rule, but the "framed picture" wasn't. LOL.

Happy Birthday to me

This time I had nothing to do a reflection or mirror shot in, so I just did the whole "hold … Continue reading Happy Birthday to me →

Taking the dog for a stroll

Another picture from our trip down to the beach on Sunday. A couple (not sure if it an actual couple or father and daughter, but that doesn't matter) taking their dog for a walk with Shark Rock Pier and a part of Central in the background. It was an unusual angle as you don't often … Continue reading Taking the dog for a stroll →

It can be found across the road from the Boardwalk Casino complex and is where Shark Rock Pier is situated. … Continue reading Hobie Beach →

Evening shot of Shark Rock Pier at Hobie Beach. The pier is quite a popular spot and is situated next to Hobie Beach which is a blue flag beach. The Boardwalk Casino and Entertainment Complex is just across the street and the popular beachfront promenade leads right onto the pier. A little while ago I … Continue reading Night time Pier →
