Some Photos I Took : )

wow ...nice stuff there

i was blown away by some of the shots he must have taken some beating in the surf for some of them

Very nice link Don, some fast shutter speeds going on there.

Ahhh yes, i've seen his work before, it is awesome. Tube photography...

DST, nice....looks like an explosion ... must've sounded like it eh?

The place is called Storms River, part of Tsitsikama national park, you could stand all day snapping pics of the wave explosions. There is the Otter Trail which is a 3 day hike, we done the first part of it which leads you along the coast towards a small but picturesque waterfall. Here's a couple more of the shots, we have a tonne more but would require to much human photoshop-ing We went back to the walk in later years, and they have put walkways in, and ropes to get past difficult parts. Omg, South Africa is so going to get spoiled over the coming years. And the World Cup is just going to add fuel to that. It truly is a beautiful country.

And yes it was very loud, our challot was right next to it all.....


more explosions in front of our chalet

and on route to the waterfall.

and the waterfall.



The bloody seagulls stole my wifes lunch roll - swooped right down and took it out her hand!!! Not shy at all, she kacked herself, I'll tell you. dirty massive seagull proceeded to land not 10 feet from us and devour the rest of the roll. The think that made me laugh even more, it left the lettuce!!!!hahahaha. If only we'd got a photo of that. Seagulls

.........niceeee!

Beautiful..... very nice. The first time I stayed in my brother in laws beach condo in Puerto Rico, I hated it.

The dang surf on his beach was so loud.... I'm from the country, it was like having a freeway next door...24/7.

nice waterfall, good to see some pics with sun in them too haha

seagulls have no morals haahahahaa

Too right CJ, I live in a city but we have a car free zone so it's dead quiet. The thing is, I was up at dawn, and at the end of the night after hiking or wahtever activity, you as so nackered, you could sleep next to a freeway

This is a place where we camped, so even louder!!! Just round the corner from here is Super Tubes, world famous surf break (Jeffreys Bay)

Them and pdgeons, rats of the bloody sky, lol.

I've got some pretty good snaps from the last sailing vaca I took, but I'll be darned if I can find the CD.....

One of these days. I may take another trip this summer. We're working to see if we can gather the right set of ppl together at the same time. It should be a blast.... and yes DST, that sort of day, beach hiking, sailing, will knock you down for the night. I don't sail on a regular basis because it becomes quite involved, so usually that first day.... I'm asleep at dark dam!

Age will do that to ya CJ, lol....I blame it on my grey hair being heavier!!!!

Well, my first sailing trip was when I was 34, and it still wiped me out! Sailing is HARD WORK!!

Now by the second night, we're all ready to party! No weed though.... Lobster and booze, lobster and booze ... and a few cigars.

Okay Doc, WTH is going on in that first pic?

Love the sunset...

Both awesome shots Doc111, love em.

Thank you. It was a pyrothechnics display at an airshow. I was using Continuous shooting mode and got lucky and captured a few good shots of it as the explosions peaked.

Yah, I noticed everything went off at the same time... made me wonder....
