Parking lot sunset


I was looking through some photos from last year December when I found these.

I t was taken in the parking area of the Garden Route Mall in George.

We were on our way to watch a movie and saw this beautiful sunset.

    For a moment there I was wondering if the sun shouldn't be setting over the Outeniqua Mountains but then I realised the mountains are north of town and the sun sets towards Mossel Bay

Victoria West (2)

Image
After a drive to a monument just outside of Victoria West we parked the car in Church Street and went for a walk.   We stopped at St John’s Church, the Anglican Church designed by Sophy Gray (I will do a whole post about it later)   We walked in the direction of the Dutch Reformed Church and saw some beautiful old buildings.   The Town Hall with some Cape Dutch Style gables was opened in 1911.   The building is a National Heritage Site. Rev Colin Fraser started to hold church services.   In 1843 the congregation was established and they named the town Victoria after Queen Victoria.   The church was completed in 1850.   The tower was added later and it was enlarged in 1922.   It is a National Heritage Site.

Graaff-Reinet : Old Buildings

Image
As I already wrote a few times on this blog, my husband and I love to visit churches and National Heritage Sites.   Graaff-Reinet is paradise for us because the town has more than 200 National Heritage Sites and some beautiful churches (like the “Groot Kerk”).   Almost every street has a house or five that were declared a National Monument.   We loved driving and walking in the streets and finding these old buildings around every corner.   Today I want to show some of these buildings: Parsonage Street Parsonage Street is one of the most historical streets in the town.   It stretches from Reinet House (link) on the one end to the Drosdy Hotel at the other end.   In this street are several national heritage sites as well as the Old Residency Museum and St James the Great Church Town Hall The foundation stone of the town hall was laid on 26 June 1902but building only started in 1910. It was named “The Victoria Hall” after Queen Victoria and a...

Mossel Bay Monday: Walking Marsh Street (1)

Image
In July last year we went on a walk in Marsh Street in Mossel Bay. We went on a Sunday because it is not so busy as on weekdays. Today I am going to share some of the buildings we saw on the first part of the walk.   Art Deco Building from 1920 Built in 1868 for chemist E Powrie and later taken over by Lennon’s Pharmacy Built before 1890 as a home for the James family and was later converted into shops. St Peter’s Anglican Church was built in 1878.    Residential building built between 1875 and 1881.   Now used as commercial property. St Peter’s Church Hall Looking towards the harbour from Marsh Street with the post office on the left. Next Monday we continue with the walk. (I used Visit Mossel Bay 's "Explore Historical Mossel Bay on foot" brochure for the above-mentioned information.  You can download the full brochure here .) (Not a sponsored post)
