Happy Valley has always been a very popular spot for both young and old especially during the summer season when the lights are on in the evenings. I went down not too long ago to see what it looks like these days. Although there were one or two of the characters that were damaged the area in a whole was in good nick and looking beautiful. Its a pity that more and more people don't go there anymore due to the perception that its a dangerous area. The way I see it is that there are always a chance of something happening in places like this all over the world, so one just needs to be more vigilant and also to make sure that you rather visit in a small group than alone. Its because there are less people going to attractions like this that we allow criminals to operate there from time to time and by going there in numbers the bad elements are actually forced out.
Good council and beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteJust out of curiosity, I'm wondering whether you do any photo stitching, i.e. panoramic shots. I look in here occasionally, but don't remember seeing any. It could add a new dimension to your blog. I enjoy your photos -- having ministered in Port Elizabeth for ten years. I use Hugin and fotoxx with Linux for panoramas. A recent example on my blog is http://thomasscarborough.blogspot.com/2011/12/bantry-bay.html
