Crowd shot

Tonight is the last world cup match at the Port Elizabeth stadium. Here's one from last Friday. If you look carefully (and zoom in) on the right-hand side you will see my favourite bit. It looks like a policeman and a member of the public sharing a joke. 

Concrete sunrise

My morning commute, walk, meander takes me under the freeway. It reminds me of a Dave Goldblum line: 

I was born in a working man's town/ between the harbour and the factories.

You can download his "Say Africa" here for a measley 7 South African bucks.

Or see Vusi performing it at the world cup opening ceremony here.

No flashy stuff today

No "glamour" football shots today.

It's back to the raw concrete, cracks in the pavement, missing hand rails.

Beauty to my retinas.

And to conclude my kinda blue

Yesterday was the spectators, today the spectator's cars.

Our humble street has never seen anything like this.

Another week and the soccer world cup will all be over.

Port Elizabeth will miss all the visitors, you guys have made daily life really interesting lately.

One of a kind

Will PE ever see anything like this again?

People from all over the world came to our back yard, or watched on tv.

It'll be quite sad when its over.

after the football

Did I tell you I'm working on my first blues song? "Vuvuzelas before sunrise."

Back from the dead (almost)

Here's a little something to start off again. A panorama from the same angle as my previous Port Elizabeth stadium shot.

Today is Brazil vs Holland, widely billed as the single biggest event in the history of PE.

What will North End be like after the world cup?

So hopefully my dry spell will end and I'll snap some pics of the surrounding streets.
