Friday’s Photo with RoddyTheFox

Contrary to popular opinion there are times when Grahamstown looks clean, neat and tidy.

At the Hogsback Inn Hotel on Saturday 27 July (Hogback Winter Celebration 2019)

The week after the Arts Festival is always a time for me to recover and recharge.

Across the Valley (featured here before Festival started ) has been one of the standout prints at my #NAF19 Carinus Art Centre exhibition ‘Reflections’.

Climbing up my #NAF19 Festival poster this morning was this delightful Praying Mantis.

We are so fortunate to have Addo Elephant Park almost on our doorstep.

A free A3 sized glossy print of this picture will go to the best caption submitted.

My favourite place at the 1820 Settlers Monument is the Fountain Court. It’s wonderfully atmospheric.

Sometimes a picture just names itself. This one’s called just strolling because that’s what this rhino mother and calf were doing. Just strolling through the Eastern Cape bush.

This photo of the Cock House is another of my antique-styled pictures of Grahamstown’s heritage sites.

Coming Home: poems from the Grahamstown diaspora is Harry Owen’s new anthology that’s currently in production with Amitabh Mitra’s Poets Printery.

At the upper end of Market Street there is a tiny little house – The Matchbox.

Here’s a shot I’ve wanted to take for quite a while.

There’s a bit of a back story to ‘Cycling by …’.

I’m back from sabbatical with the first post of a new series – Grahamstown Heritage – featuring the old and the new.

With the summer holidays in mind I’m sharing this December night sky.

Hiding behind the wall of the Albany Museum is the bell that used to sit on top of the Drostdy Arch.

We live in an unusual place … it’s rare for a South African city to have the suburbs and townships facing each other across a valley as we do.
