Morgan Bay sunrise

Sunrise from my balcony at the Morgan Bay Hotel on the southern Wild Coast taken during the Mini vs Maxi challenge.By the way, today is my birthday. Just thought I'll mention it.

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 →

The yachts at anchor in the little harbour made for the ideal … Continue reading Knysna yachts sunset →

Knysna Lagoon Sunset – "Great Ball of Fire"

The first picture is just a straight forward "sunset over the water" picture and unfortunately I had no subject to … Continue reading Knysna Lagoon Sunset – "Great Ball of Fire" →

Wading at sunset

I was busy taking sunset pictures across the Knysna lagoon, but was struggling to find something interesting to place in the foreground when Chaos Boy came wading along. Aha, just what I was looking for. I had to keep on running ahead of him to get him in the right position, but by now my … Continue reading Wading at sunset →

Port Elizabeth beach sunset

Although I get to go down to the beachfront quite often for walks during my lunch times, we haven't been down to the beachfront as a family for quite a while. The other day we headed down there for the kids to ride the bicycles along the promenade just before sunset and it wasn't long before … Continue reading Port Elizabeth beach sunset →

Clouds at sunset

Earlier in the week after my Donating Blood post on Port Elizabeth Daily Photo, Seamus asked me if my camera was an extension of my body like my arms and legs because I take photos of everything. My camera is always in my backpack which goes everywhere I go, even when I pop down to my local supermarket … Continue reading Clouds at sunset →
