Sea Side

This isn't a great pic, but I've just started shooting RAW, so I've got a bit of a learning curve ahead..

Run, you bastards!

The annual Urban Run was a couple of weeks ago.

So 1 500 white people that usually only hang out in the suburbs got to see some of the real PE.

Round and round

From the traffic circle on Mount Road.

Tar and sea

NE holiday

I've taken a week off, and am enjoying the sights of our city that are in the immediate vicinity.

Plenty to keep me happy..

To Let

Not actually, this spot has been earmarked for low cost housing...

Prosit

Just to show you that I don't spend all of my time lurking around old buildings :-)

New coat of paint

As my current work project nears completion, I can lift my eyes (and my camera).

Twilight #?

Will I ever tire of it? Nah

North End after the rain

I spent the whole day at home today, something I haven't done in a really long time.

I shot this from the back stoep (that's veranda to you overseas people).

Now I'm rested and ready to take on the world..

Harbour panorama

In the foreground on the left is a wooden yacht that was a scout vessel in the battle of Normandy in the second world war, and is in the the process of being restored.

In the foreground on the right is a luxury yacht belonging to a German father and son, who are on their third round the world trip, it has also just finished being repaired.

And in the center? Me, on the deck of the yacht that I am repairing!

It looks like Port Elizabeth is the place to be if you need fixing.

From the deep(ish)

What strange object from the deep is this?

(a mooring block from a yacht)

Mirror sea

This is one of those "saw it with my eyes, couldn't quite get it on camera" moments.

Nonetheless, we do our best.

Broken toy implied

I shot this about a block away from the spring shot, interestingly enough.

Sepia Sunrise

Well you know, close to sunrise..

Radioactive

Over-the-top colour can be quite gimmicky, but I hope not in this case.

Then again that's the great thing about a blog: spontaneity, the best medicine.

Shipping

The view from the main drag, not too bad.

The view from here II

From the back "stoep" - that's porch to the rest of you global visitors. I'm not sure if it has any other names.. 

Staring down the sun

And no, I wasn't the driver :-)

Spot the idiot

It looks as if Firefly and I have been wandering around the same neck of the woods lately.

My second pic here gives me an icy feel - which is quite apt at the moment.
