Neville's Pic of the Day

**Neville Bailey** · 02-Jun-12, 08:43 AM

I've started this thread to post my daily Pic of the Day photograph, with a link to my Flickr account. This is a project I started on 1 January 2012, and it can be quite a challenge to find something to photograph every day and then to publish it!

Everyday I will post my Pic of the Day in this thread.

Instead of posting all my past pictures here, I will kick off my posting the past 5 pictures only - you can view my past pictures by clicking here.

In Memory of Roy Whitaker by Neville A Bailey, on Flickr
One of the many oil paintings by Roy Whitaker, my daughters’ grandfather, who died a few weeks ago. May he rest in peace.

On the Rocks by Neville A Bailey, on Flickr
A lone fisherman at Shelly Beach late this afternoon.

Cactus Dripping by Neville A Bailey, on Flickr
Cactus and water – an unusual, but striking, combination.

Sugar Terminal by Neville A Bailey, on Flickr
One of the largest sugar terminals in the world, located at Durban docks. I remember travelling past these buildings as a child, when our family visited Durban during the holidays.

Concrete Stamen by Neville A Bailey, on Flickr
Like the stamen of some exotic flower, this water tower in Overport towers into the blue yonder.

Awsome Neville!

There must be something about accountants and photography. Maybe they are better at calculating the angles, exposures etc. My daughter is also an accountant and has photography as a hobby.

Hi Neville,

I like the lone fisherman photo, in particular the way it makes me feel, it's this getting away from it all feeling. Just being at total piece with yourself and your environment. I could use some of that lone fishermans serenity right now...

Concentration and pain is etched on the faces of these Comrades Marathon runners.

Umhlanga Pier by Neville A Bailey, on Flickr
Moments after taking this shot this evening, I had to do a rapid back-pedaling manoeuvre, with tripod in one hand and camera bag in the other, to avoid being taken out by a sudden rogue wave!

Nev, that is an awesome shot. I have an absolute fascination for bridges! I have books about them, pictures (plenty) of them, some blueprints of some of them and I have never become tired of them. I have walked the length of the Firth of Forth in Scotland, 25de Abril bridge in Lisbon, the Golden Gate in San Francisco, the George Washington and the Varazzano Narrows and the Brooklyn in New York City, the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, the Tower Bridge in London, Pont Neuf in Paris and at least 5 others. Oh and before somebody says that that is not a bridge, it's a pier. But to me it's still an engineering project over water constructed using concrete and steel amongst other things!
