City sunset

2013 is on its last leg and nearly over so I thought a sunset over the city seen from the Port Elizabeth Harbour is the perfect last photo for the year. If you're going out tonight please take it easy and be safe. See you all next year.

Gamtoos Valley mountain silhouettes

Just after sunset the mountains of the Baviaanskloof west of Patensie turn into silhouettes against the colour changing sky. Shortly after they turn transparent in the fading light before disappearing into the night.

Dusk in Addo

Dusk is by far my favourite time when visiting any game reserve or national park.

When the daytime animals start to … Continue reading Dusk in Addo →
