My submission for MyPhotoDay.
On Tuesday my dad and I took my Mom some of her personal things to hospital. The hospital is about 25km from where we live in the coastal town of Margate, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa.
Margate is a very popular holiday destination. We haven't been to the beach much as our beaches are closed since the lockdown. So my dad and I enjoyed this excursion.
That is Margate's main beach now abandoned due to the Lockdown. Luckily there was no cops in sight.
Margate has lots of hotels and holiday apartments along the beachfront.
It was a beautiful blue sky almost no wind day and we decided to walk along the beach on the paved pathway.
The main beach from above. You are allowed to walk on the paths just not allowed on the beach itself. Makes no sense. 🤷
Another photo from above showing the sandy beach and some more Hotels along the north side of the beach.
The town build a big sturdy pier for the fishermen as it is also a very popular fishing spot.
It's winter in South Africa now and in winter the fish most caught is Shad. Not a very big fish but a nice pan sized fish. Unfortunately I did not got a photo of a Shad. You can see some of the fisherman below the pier, still preparing to fish.
So my Dad and I went up the pier to admire the beautiful Ocean some more. I asked him to pose for a picture.
I love to take photos of the waves and the water splashing over the rocks and I made use of the beautiful weather to took some more pics.
We went off the pier to admire another landmark in winter, the Aloes blooming.
These ones just started to Bloom, they will be more beautiful in a few days.
These ones were more open. How beautiful against the backdrop of the ocean.
With that our time outside was over, it served us as a great stress reliever.
All photos were taken with my SamsungA10.
