Skylight

Sitting outside and enjoying a beer in our new neighbourhood sports bar I perchanced on some pretty clouds.

The view is pretty good from up there as well.

What's that lurking in the background?

Come on, you all know what it is. It's time for me to approach on foot and get some closer shots methinks.

More trees

I just can't get enough of trees. The one in the foreground was planted by my girlfriend about 6 years ago. Now it's taller than me.

More doors

Me and doorways, there is a real variety around here I must say.

North End after the rain

Carrying on with Friday's water theme, here's one of some half-decent rain from last week. Still in a drought though. And that's REAL lens flare, none of that 'shopped in stuff!

Pagan in the city

What esoteric object is this, stuck up on the hill?

A water reservoir!

We are having a drought at the moment, so it is pertinent.

Lost and found

Another bizarre object on the back streets of North End. Your intrepid blogger will stay hot on the heels of more cutting-edge news like this. Volcanoes? nah nothing beats an abandoned oak headboard.!

I do find it quite beautiful though, in an "American Beauty" kind of way.

over and under

Over and under and around and around. Somedays you just feel like a hamster on a wheel.

More men at work

I noticed these four guys in a row on the right. One of those pics that just presented itself to me.

Between the sky and the sea

Another RAP pic. The love of my life might take me over here.

Off to school now

Off to school kids, try not to spend too much time looking at that beautiful sea in the background.

Dusk

Dusk - the darker side of twilight. And I mean twilight the time of day, not the movie. Damn emo vampires.

Fame!

I had a pic of mine published on another site FAME !

uncaptioned

An empty half-jack inside an abandoned handbasin. I'm not even going to attempt to title this one! Any ideas kids?

When I was young/driving was my thing (just like Bob Dylan)

Once again thanks to RAP for this one. And here is another building begging for more photos.

more construction

The business in this building apparently make all of the flavours and fillings for a local chocolate company.

Did you hear the one about the sky?

Serendipity

The idea for this blog was a spontaneous one. And I try to keep the pics the same. Here's one that I snapped on the spur of the moment, no cropping or enhancements. 

House on the hill

There's A House On My Block
That's Abandoned And Cold
Folks Moved Out Of It A
Long Time Ago
And They Took All Their Things
And They Never Came Back
Looks Like It's Haunted
With The Windows All Cracked
And Everyone Call It
The House, The House Where
Nobody Lives

(Tom Waits)

O.K. so This one's not even close. But give me some poetic license here people.

Thanks to the tree

I am sure the person who planted this is long gone, but I will be forever grateful to them.

I like the nightlife

Here's me playing chicken with a car, what else do you do on a Sunday night? Next time I'll try to get the moon not to flare out. Or is it a UFO mmm.. Come to think of it I did wake up in a farmer's field 2 days later, but that's another story.

Port Elizabeth soccer stadium

My first pic of our 2010 stadium. Many more to come hopefully.

Beauty in the cracks

I even got the shopping packet in the foreground for those South Africans abroad who are homesick.

North End rainbow

Here's a little something for after the rain.
