This will probably be my last upload this week. Visitor coming over from the UK, husband will be celebrating his birthday and a holiday.
.
First thing I want to do is to wish Tamtidelam a lovely holiday with as little rain as possible and a very relaxing time, because she deserves it.
Then I want to thanks Lurdes, for showing me how to use the polygonetool and then edit/copy, edit/paste the key into the frame.
Then of course thank my husband for being so interested in what I'm doing and giving me his support and the use of his computer!
.
Okay, if you can wait just 1 minute, then you will see the sun rise over the Outeniqua Mountains - I will get my sunglasses - done. Then I will have a look to see if the birthday boy has left the shower - but he is welcome to remain there a while longer, because I'm enjoying myself here on the balcony......
Staying in this hotel had some negatives also -not that I will make a habit of being negative- but the hotel is situated very confeniently right beside the N2 - the road from Knysna to Port Elizabeth and you can hear traffic until late in the evening. At 4 o'clock the heavy traffic starts coming and the beautiful thatched roof is not at all soundproof.
We had a lovely time anyway.
.
Plattenberg Bay - Plett - is called the Jewel of the Garden Route BAHIA FORMOSA (beautiful Bay) as it was called by a Portuguese traveller. But it's surroundings - sweeping unspoilt beaches, dramatic rocky peninsulas, intriguing lagoons and forrests, the beautiful views over the Indian Ocean - that, and the wonderful climate - is what makes it so attractive.

Het uitzicht vanaf dit balkon op Ad's verjaardag was verbazingwekkend - de zon was 1 minuut verwijderd van de rand van de Outeniqua Bergen en daarna had ik hard mijn zonnebril nodig. Ad stond onder de douche en mocht daar wat mij betreft nog wel even lekker blijven staan - kon ik van het uitzicht genieten.

Prettige dag/week
have a nice day/week
Els

Prachtig uitzicht!
scherp beeld
Prettige dagen nog...

Hi Els, enjoyed your notes very much...and enjoying your view from the balcony. Looks like a wonderful place! Good PP work in adding the hotel key and a very nice touch and signature for the photo. Sometimes a blown out sky just works, and here it works and works well. Nice shooting Els and TFS!
