These ruins at Port Eynon were originally built in the 16th Century as a saltwork (extracting salt from the sea) but from the 17th C, they were used as houses for oyster fishermen and quarrymen until they were abandoned in about … Continue reading A PHOTO A DAY HELPS …… Day 94

The first set are a series of three truly magnificant waterfalls in the foothills of Mount Elgon, around Sipi in Kapchorwa.   Then there is the Nile which leaves Lake Victoria at Jinja as a broad and … Continue reading A PHOTO A DAY HELPS …… Day 51
