Litter in East London, near the Nahoon River

We took this short little video sometime back already, near a beautiful view of the Nahoon River in East London.  It really was not a lot of litter we found there, but what we particularly didn't find appropriate was that the litter was right next to a sign reminding people to please not litter.

Photos of sunrise and a train in Cambridge East London

Tony and I haven't really been rambling lately, so when we popped in at OK Foods in Cambridge on the way back from dropping the boys at school this morning, we decided to pop over the road and see if we could take some photos of the railway line - we didn't have much time, so doubted we'd be lucky enough to have a train come along, but we thought wrong. We had hardly gotten there, next to the railway line, when a train came trundling along the tracks.

Here are the photo efforts of this morning's mini East London ramble:

Broken concrete gutter and wet road from a burst water pipe

We didn't have to ramble far in East London for these photos - these photos of the wet road and the broken concrete gutter were taken in Garcia Street, Cambridge, East London, not far from where we live.

The water pipe burst on Saturday morning 29 May 2010, and the road, driveways, and gutter were flooded.  Cars wheels whoosed through the water, causing water to spray up everywhere.

The East London municipality did not take long to arrive and repair the damaged water pipe, and luckily water supply to the nearby houses in Garcia Street was soon flowing once more.

View from The Edge at Hogsback in the Eastern Cape

Beautiful view from the edge at The Edge in Hogsback, or not, Tony was not going beyond that gate.  Although I'm not as scared of heights as Tony is, I wasn't all that keen to go beyond this gate either - although a super zoom lens on my camera would have been great.

But, here's the view, as I took it, so hope you like!

I took this photo during a day trip to Hogsback in early 2009.
