Gallery: 20 Photographs of Hermanus that do not feature any whales.

Oh Hermanus you broke our hearts. Whales, whales, whales. From the shore, from a boat. You managed to thwart us at every turn. But you are a photogenic place, so I still love you.

A couple of photos from my first two days in South Africa

So this is it. The big one for this year, two weeks following South Africa’s Garden Route. Right now I’m sat at a stone stable right on the coast of the Indian Ocean surrounded by the cliffs and forests of Tsitsikamma National Park.

Photograph(s) of the Week: Random Thailand

My brother is heading to Thailand tomorrow for a couple of weeks. So it seems like a good excuse to share some random shots from my time there. I can’t say that I didn’t get the opportunity to experience much in Thailand which every day seemingly different from the last. Whether it be the craziness […]

Photographs of the Week: Boats of Halong Bay

Icart by Moonlight

A few years ago when bucket lists were all the rage, I wrote my own. One of the entries resulted in me buying myself the telescope. I”ve had it a couple of years now and in all honesty it hasn’t seen as much use as it should have. The miraculous combination of clear skies at […]

Photograph of the Week: The small things are important

We all recognise this building and this particular view. It has become an iconic view for a reason and that it because it takes in the full majesty of one of the true remaining wonders of the world. To visit the Taj Mahal and not come away without your own version of this view is […]

Photo (Gallery) of the Week: Bicycles of Amsterdam

To call my decision making regarding the topic of this series arbitrary is a discredit… to the word ‘arbitrary’. Last night I dreamt of cycling so today you get a gallery of bicycles! Bikes are everywhere in Amsterdam and the whole city appears to be a utopia for cycling commuters. Flat, well maintained roads. True […]
