RE: #Wednesday Walk - The Fresh Beginning of a New Day on the East Coast of South Africa

in Wednesday Walk29 days ago

It's beautiful how the sand changes texture and v=becomes more yellow, the further up the East Coast you go. and of course, the water gets so much warmer! On the East side of the Cape, you get treated to incredible sunrises, while for us on the west coast, we are blessed with beautiful sunsets but freezing water, that surprisingly warms up in the winter, due to an interesting current that runs through at the same time of year. But for al it's beauty, you have to be super brave to get into the water! If you happen to work in the CBD though, you get the best if both worlds with stunning sunrises over the flamingo vlei on the West Coast road.

That bridge looks very familiar. Were these shots taken in PE?

Yes, that is true indeed about the sand becoming more yellow as you start moving up along the east coast! We were in Cape Town last December and we were amazed by the white sand you guys have on your beaches!

Yes, we get the sunrises while you get the sunsets. That is why I try to get some sun rises instead of sunsets here by us. I do get some shots during sunsets, but especially when at a beach, I then rather try to focus on the late afternoon light rather that the sunset itself.

Wow! Those people working in the CBD are lucky!

These shots in my posts were taken on the Beach in Umhlanga, just north of Durban. It is the Whalebone Pier that you see in my photos. It's a popular attraction for the tourists.

Thanks for stopping by and for your feedback, @clairemobey! I do appreciate it!

It's not only working in the CBD, we, in Table View, get a beautiful view into the west across the Atlantic Sea abut also to the East across the peninsula to the Indian Ocean, so depending on what time of day it is, we get to enjoy both!

Oh wow!! That sounds awesome!

And white sand is overrated!! Lol!

That how we feel about people talking about our "Golden Beaches"...😅! I guess the people who live with it and see it every day, gets used to it and we quickly becomes the "normal", while for other people it remains spectacular or special. For us, it's the golden beaches... For you, it's the white sand...haha.

But whatever, let's just enjoy it👍!

hehehe! Yes indeed!
