First off, happy new decade to you all. We’ve just come back from a three week trip to South Africa and have already filled 2010 with travel plans.

If you’re a subscriber, you will have noticed that there haven’t been many posts in the last 3 weeks. This was partially because we had limited Internet facilities, but also because I would like to keep the posts on this site meaningful. I’m pretty sure you’re not interested in seeing a constant stream of Christmas family snapshots (although some photo blogs seem to think it is a good idea).

For 2010, the weekly travel photography competition will fall away. Instead, I will display a selection of my favorite images from the group. There are many awesome travel pictures posted to the Nomadic Vision flickr group and I want to give them all some exposure.

We will continue to split the articles up between travel photography tips and location guides. Thanks so much for your continued support.

This image was taken on the main beach in Plettenberg Bay  as the sun should have been rising. The dramatic clouds evident in the picture blocked the sunrise, but ended up creating the perfect conditions for a dramatic seascape picture. The building in the picture is the Beacon Isle Hotel, surrounded on three sides by the ocean.

The main beach in Plettenberg Bay is well worth a visit. Situated in the heart of South Africa’s Garden Route, it offers a tranquil setting for a relaxing week away or a world class surf spot for the more energetic.

Some highlights in the area include the Birds of Eden Park, the wild Robberg Nature Reserve, an un-spoilt beach at Nature’s Valley and the intriguing Monkeyland.
