Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium

I have seen stunning photos of the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium with some of the best interior ones being taken from the top tow of seats right in the very corner. So late last year during the IRB 7's I decided to venture up into the nose bleed section and get my own photo. Mmmmm.... Quite … Continue reading Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium →

Walkway remains

Nature doesn't take nonsense from us people. Sardinia Bay in Port Elizabeth has a problematic dune that just doesn't want to stand still. A couple of years back a walkway was built across the dune to make it easier to get to the beach. But as soon as the walkway was completed the dune started … Continue reading Walkway remains →

Cracked sky

About a week or so ago the afternoon sky was filled with the most beautiful cloud formation. Although I missed taking a picture of it at sunset, I did see on Facebook that a lot of other people did get some stunning ones. What I did get a photo of was what looked like a … Continue reading Cracked sky →

Reaching for the sun

There are a number of exotic trees in Settlers Park in Port Elizabeth that has been ring barked so that they can die and probably be cut down at a later stage. On a walk through the park I thought this makes for a nice picture with the tree's branches (arms?) reaching towards the sky … Continue reading Reaching for the sun →

False Bay skies

The sky is one of nature's most amazing canvasses and can be painted in so many patterns and colours. The skies during my quick visit to Cape Town may have been grey and dreary, but the view across Three Anchor Bay from Sea Point towards Green Point had an appeal of its own.Same picture (well, actually … Continue reading False Bay skies →

Angel shining

The Angel Statue in Grahamstown is an Anglo Boer War Memorial depicting an angel standing over a fallen Boer soldier. Initially I wanted to try and get the sun on the angel's head as a halo, but I had to stand in a busy street to do that. Looking at the picture afterwards I realised … Continue reading Angel shining →

Statue halo

The sun forming a halo on the head of the Dutch Language Monument in the Eastern Cape town of Burgersdorp. Would have been awesome if the statue was an angel, but alas she doesn't have wings.

3…2…1… BUNGY!!!

I decided to post something slightly different for this week's post. Rather than looking up, we are looking down.The 451m long Bloukrans River Bridge in the Tsitsikamma spans the gorge of the Bloukrans River on the boundary between the Eastern Cape and the Western Cape. Completed in 1984, the bridge forms part of the N2 highway between Port Elizabeth … Continue reading 3…2…1… BUNGY!!! →

Enjoying sunrise

Having only two nights in Plettenberg Bay and with lots of rain about, the chance of getting a beautiful sunrise over the bay was very slim. I still set my alarm early enough for the first morning to head down to the beach for sunrise. There were clouds about but enough sky peeking through, so … Continue reading Enjoying sunrise →

Aloe and mountain silhouettes after sunset

The view from the top of the Knysna Heads are stunning in all directions. Unfortunately I miss judged myself with the sunset as it set to the left behind the hillside and I had nothing to show for my trip up to the top. Oh well, I enjoyed the beautiful view across the Knysna Lagoon … Continue reading Aloe and mountain silhouettes after sunset →
