This post is for the #wednesdaywalk challenge and the #makemesmile challenge collaboration. This collaboration initially took place once a month, but due to its popularity, @tattoodjay (of the #wednesdaywalk) and @elizacheng (of #makemesmile) decided to make it a weekly thing.
If you want to know more about the rules, visit this week's post by @tattoodjay where you will find all the rules at the bottom of his post after you've enjoyed his beautiful photos from his walk.
Last weekend we went to watch the rugby match between the SHARKS and Edinburgh Rugby at the Kings Park Stadium in Durban. We decided to go for a short walk after the game and just spend some time on the beach in Durban if it wasn't too busy.
Kick-off was at 3 pm. That means it was about 5 pm by the time we got out of the stadium. The beach is close to the stadium (about 2 KM). But first getting to the car and then facing the traffic to get out, we arrived at Battery Beach in Durban just before 6 pm.
With winter approaching, our sunset is currently at about 17h50 pm. So I used the last bit of daylight to see if I could still get a photo or two...LOL!
As we got out of the car, I spotted a cargo ship that just left the harbor.
Battery Beach is the most northern beach of the famous Golden Mile in Durban. In the next photo, I was standing just above the beach at Battery Beach, looking down toward the Golden Mile.
A little to my left, I found an empty frame. The ship that came out of the harbor was turning toward the east and I was just in time to still get a shot of it through the frame.
I heard the sound of another boat/ship and it sounded quite close. I walked down to the right, and I got this shot. I am no expert in boats, but as far as I know, it is a commercial fishing boat.
I just moved down a little further to be able to catch both vessels in the same photo, with the cargo ship now seriously heading for the open seas going east.
I walked back up in a northerly direction until I found a nice open space from where could get a nice, final shot of this boat cruising up along the shoreline.
On our way back to the car, I couldn't resist the temptation to just have a little more fun when I saw another empty frame...LOL!
And that's it for today, folks!
Thank you for reading my post! I do appreciate it!
