The sun sets on St Francis DP.

When we decided to share a bit of the beauty just down the Eastern Cape coast from our hometown, we were travelling there regularly and able to take new pictures. But we are unlikely to find time to go back for a while, and although we still have tons of photos, they are really variations of what we have already shown you. So for now we plan to take a hiatus from this blog. Hopefully anyone who visits here for the first time will enjoy scrolling back over old posts and enjoying the glimpse we have given you of this breathtaking part of the planet!

We do look forward to welcoming you to Port Elizabeth Daily Photo, which we will be continuing to update daily.

Since we featured this morning's sunrise in PE today, we thought we might as well start the week off with a sunrise in St Francis too, taken the Saturday before last, from Otters landing.

Sunrise at Otters Landing

Yesterday we mentioned Otters Landing , between the Port and Shark Point. There is a path that runs through the indigenous bush along the coast, below the houses and above the rocks. It is a wonderful place to be at sunrise, it gives you a grandstand view as the sun comes up over the sea. We were there this weekend, and woke up in time to go for a walk just before the sun popped up. The first thing we saw was a couple of dolphins cruising past, what a brilliant way to start our weekend! Sadly it was still too dark for a fast enough shutter speed. But as usual, there is no shortage of sunrise photos!
