Most of Port Elizabeth's monuments are located around Central and the city centre. There are a few outside of those areas though. One example is the Piet Retief monument and another is the Cenotaph in front of the Walmer Townhall. I stopped at the Cenotaph with Drama Princess and snapped a few pics while she was checking it out. The Cenotaph contains the names of the men from Walmer who died during the two world wars. Why does Walmer have a Cenotaph while there is one in front of St Georges Park as well? Well, Walmer used to be a town of its own independent from Port Elizabeth until the 1970's.
Lovely warm feel to this photo, Jonker. And the human element (in the form of Drama Princess) adds to the scene.
