Sunrise over the Sea

The winter sun, creates a warm glow, as it rises over the sea on the east coast of South Africa


While we are experiencing extremely cold winter weather (9°C) during the day here in central South Africa, my sister-in-law, who lives at the coast, is sweltering under 29°C!

In June 2007, while visiting them, I managed to capture some beautiful photos of the sun rising over the sea.

Nature paints a warm palette over the indigenous bush and the sea

My s.i.l. and her husband (my husband’s brother) have a home whose garden leads out onto the beach. (How blessed is that!) They, unlike us, are late sleepers and never rise until after 8.30 on weekdays and around midday over the weekends. When my s.i.l. saw these photos on my computer, she asked where I had taken them...

  10. Returning the compliment Jo. What an incredible site you have, both home and in Blogshire. I really enjoyed browsing through and getting to know you and your extended family. It is many years since my best friend married and moved to J'burg SA and many years since we lost touch. Maybe she's no longer there. I'll be back to read more. God bless.

  11. Those are just lovely!

    Here's mine. It's a sunset, not a sunrise, because my husband works late, so sunrise, right now, is rather unattainable for us. But shots like yours remind me what we're missing!

  15. Hi Babooska;) Thanks for your kind comments. My husband asks if you have any news about Nick Crowe who had a bad accident on IOM this year. News reports are jumbled - we don't know what to believe.

    Hi Valerie;) that is SO sweet of you to visit my blog - thanks for your kind comments. I will follow your regularly. Nowadays people LEAVE South Africa - which is sad. My best friend left to go to the UK (now living in Scotland) and I managed to meet up with her after 30 years in 2005 at my sister's home in Basingstoke.
