If you are stuck in the wild you need to plan for ways to get out. One of the most frustrating things is when someone is stuck in the jungle is when they see a airplane or a helicopter but they cant signal for help.
You should have a fire reader or at least a way [...]
This might not look like Helderberg but it sure is. Standing in Somerset West in the Helderberg Nature Reserve I got this photo of the rocks in the middle of the two hills. Photos like these can only be taken with a 200mm lens. I have seen the 125-500 Sigma lens for Canon and would [...]
This is part of the road trip series
The day after staying awake for two days and we had some sleep we went around to the Colesberg information centre. I was surprised to see that this information centre was much more than just a information centre. They are preparing the Colesberg information centre to be much [...]
When you go to Matjiesfontein be sure to ask for permission to go on the roof. We went there just before sunset to see the best views of Matjiesfontein. Even where the hill is where the Boere war took place.
They used this Hotel as a view point to spot the injured people coming in. This [...]
I know its very unprofessional to post blurry photos but i guess you can only see this one blur if you look very close. This is the hill in Somerset West at Radloff park. This used to be the most beautiful and green hill, although you can see it in this photo. But now with [...]
Taking photos for years has really opened my eyes to see things that one would usually not focus on. But with a new camera and having a 300mm lens has really learned me to capture that image on camera. This is what I tried to achieve here.
In this photo is Gordons Bay harbour directly in [...]
This photograph was also taken with the 18-200mm lens. It seems I will be taking all my photos with that lens since I broke the 18-55mm standard lense which is not that brilliant anyway. Zooming in at that distance also enable the background to show.
What you see in this photos is the old harbour in [...]
I have taken 100’s of photos of Gordons Bay but have never gotten something like this from Bikini beach. The harbour you see in the right side of the photograph is the old harbour next to bikini beach in Gordons Bay while what you see in the distance is harbour island. Usually in my older [...]
The best way to survive a lighting storm is to fall flat on your face and be the lowest thing in the area. Last year it happened that people were playing soccer and lighting striked. The entire field went down because of it and they had to carry some of them off the field because [...]
This is the entire Langebaan. Or most of it anyway. In the distance you can see Saldanha. Langebaan is really a small town but when you are there it feels like you are somewhere in Greece or Europe. Langebaan is the perfect holiday destination with plenty of accommodation and things to do.
This is either green point or sea point I am not sure. Its on the other side of Cape Town. This photo was taken from Lion’s head or hill in Cape Town.
Normally we just drive past Grabouw but this time we decided to look for a dirt road leading to some place interesting. And this is what we found. Green hills and green fields with donkeys on them. There is some nice places in Grabouw and Elgin to explore. Most people just know about Houw Hoek [...]
Ghost hill is a place in Somerset West where if you switch your car off it still seems to move up the hill instead of moving downhill. Many say this is because it just appears as if the hill is going upwards but in fact it is going downwards. Somerset West has some ghost stories [...]
