Tuesdays Trees #19 - Spiny partners

Todays trees are the Aloe Ferox and the Acacia Karoo taken near Craddock.

Crooners and Cocktails

Crooners and Cocktails, put on by Two Tone, has become a popular gig on the Port Elizabeth circuit. Suzi-k and I went to the first one just over a year ago. On Friday night we spent another enjoyable evening, at the Barn, chilling out and listening to many of the old great crooners' numbers and some of Ulagh Williams own compositions.

Karoo Kameos #5 - Locust

This rather striking locust appears to be wearing red stockings. It was photographed in the Karoo near Kleinpoort.

Skywatch Friday - Turkish sunset

Sometimes I do leave the Eastern Cape. Suzi-k and I were enjoying dinner on the roof of the Aria Kebap House, in Sultanahmet, Instanbul on a trip to Turkey last year. From our table, we were able to enjoy a 360 degree view that included the Sea of Marmara, the Bosphorus and parts Sultanahmet (mostly roofs) and watch the the sun go down behind the Blue Mosque.

Skywatch is the place to go, if you want to enjoy many great photos and meet bloggers from all over the world

Golden Dawn

The early bird catches the worm, or in this case maybe the fish. Fishermen about to launch from Hobie Beach.
