Forest Floor

Loved the stroll along the trails through the Tsitsikamma Forest on our way to Big Tree. The Forest and trees are just amazing! Would LOVE to go back there soon!

Lighthouse [CSF]

Would love to see how the restoration of the Cape St Francis Bay Lighthouse in the Eastern Cape of South Africa turns out... What an amazing place...

Wildernis

This was one of my MUST take shots on my recent holiday. Taken from UNDER the National Road (N2) just before entering Knysna / Wildernis.

The Hut

Loved this lovely hideaway in Storms River, Eastern Cape

Tractor Line

There's beauty to be found in everything, even rusty old implements... Take a second look...

Ice Colld

Noticed this Coca-Cola truck parked ready for delivery at Tygervalley Mall. Love the fact that this truck was halling "ice colld" drinks. Time someone spells check for them, right? LOL!

Look Out Point [TBH]

Look out Point: Tygerberg Hills

Lens Filter / Protector

(Slim) MC Lens Protector on screwed on top of my 18-55mm Lens

The lens filter / protector... does it have a purpose? I have read up quite a bit the last couple of weeks to re-educate myself in order to make a determination if I should invest in it, or not...


Wiki describes it as follows:

"In photography and videography, a filter is a camera accessory consisting of an optical filter that can be inserted in the optical path. The filter can be a square or oblong shape mounted in a holder accessory, or, more commonly, a glass or plastic disk with a metal or plastic ring frame, which can be screwed in front of or clipped onto the lens."

VISA (Building)

VISA, FNB Building, Tygervalley

I just love how clean and crisp this building looks! One of the latest "green" buildings in and around Cape Town.

The Glance

The Glance

Jumped at the opportunity to snap my niece as she "multi-tasked" with her tablet and the TV. She just "glanced up" from time to time - weird, as she also had her earphones in listening to music. Gotta love the new generation!

Wind Surfer

Wind Surfer, Strand Beach, CAPE TOWN [ZA]

Here's a serious of shots I did watching these guys play in the surf. So great that the SAMSUNG NX300 Mirrorless shoots at 8,7 FPS! *smiles*

Rolling Hills

Rolling Hills

I had to stop while en-route to our holiday destination along the N2, from Cape Town to Storms River. I cannot recall the exact location of this image, but these hills and distant mountains just called to me...

Holiday Home

Holiday Home, St Francis Bay, Eastern Cape [ZA]

On my recent holiday I was lucky enough to be offered a boat ride (with my family) on the lagoon out in St Francis Bay, in the Eastern Cape of sunny South Africa. This is just one example of some of the fantastic holiday houses along the various "lagoon roads." Perhaps one day I can go retire there...

Camo Frog

Camo Frog, as spotted in Tsitsikamma Forest, Eastern Cape, ZA

Sometimes you can just get a lucky, unexpected shot in. A friend pointed the frog out to me while we explored the Tsitsikamma Forest en-route to Big Tree, a 1000 Year Old Yellowwood.

Walkway en-route to Big Tree, Tsitsikamma Forest

 There's about a 500 meter walkway through the Forest to Big Tree

My Kids in front of BIG TREE

BIG TREE, in all its might

Take Flight

Take Flight, Cape St. Francis Bay

There is just something about a bird (or birds) in flight. One of my "had to capture" moments...

Mall RAT

During the Festive Season it seems we are all forced to visit local Malls. I have decided to make the best of it all and scout around to see what I can find in and around the different malls. These three (3) images were all taken at one local ZA mall. Hope you like it.
