motlatse canyon

This week marks the 2nd anniversary of the pic of the week! This one is for my friend Lisl who was living in between the Kruger National Park and Blyde River Canyon, but is currently walking on a pilgrimage through Spain...


The Blyde River Canyon in winter. Recently renamed the Motlatse, the canyon is the largest vegetated canyon in the world. Cutting through the northern section of the Greater Drakensberg Mountain Range, it really is one of Africa's spectacular sights.

cleaners...

As with most things, even The Mountain needs a wash every now and then. The cleaners appear in the form of the southeaster and nor'wester winds...


Clouds part temporarily to provide a beautifully crisp view south from the summit of Devil's Peak, with the Ledges route from the saddle appearing in the break.
