Friday’s Photo with RoddyTheFox

It’s that time of year…

Every Sunday at 10am…

We all know about Grahamstown’s water problems.

This was taken last Tuesday night when a spectacular storm rolled along the Eastern Cape coast.

This is one of the very first pictures I took when I started photographing the heritage sites in Grahamstown.

Hidden away behind the Observatory Museum on Bathurst Street and the Sole Memorial Church on High Street is this old two story house on the corner of Prince and Oak.

There can be no doubt that your Friday photographer is still in Scandinavia.

Not all of the heritage buildings in Grahamstown are grand affairs.

We were driving along the gravel road past Blaauwater siding…

This week’s Friday photo is a little different.

City Hall is not everybody’s favourite, I know that, but the building and its streetscape is impressive.

Tracking down the 70 Heritage Sites of old Grahamstown has sometimes taken time but it’s always brought rewards.

As many of you know I’ve been photographing Grahamstown’s Heritage sites over the past year.

It’s not every month that we are featured in Go! magazine – so this week’s picture was an easy choice.

There’s a big concentration of Heritage Sites around Church Square – so it’s an obvious choice for one of my retro-styled Heritage Series pictures.

Standing between the Monument and the N2 is Ivan Mitford-Barberton’s 1969 Settler Family statue.

The Winged Figure of Peace stands at the top of Bathurst Street – right opposite the Commemoration Church.

This is one of my local Sunnyside views – frequently admired on morning or evening dog walks crossing the commonage beneath the PJ Olivier playing fields.
