Mountains tend to make their own weather. And during my stay in the Drakensburg Mountains I saw these gorgeous green mountains turn from golden sun lit to drenched in life giving rain and back within about five minutes.
These shots were taken about 30 minutes apart from Monks Cowl camp. Then it rained all night.
The next day I went hiking into the Drakensburgs with the son of Jo from memorable meanders.

Today I turn 56 years young. Ah what a glorious life! Who would have thought when I was born I’d spend this birthday in South Africa. Surely not my parents. But then I must have inherited some gypsy blood from somewhere. And this is only the beginning. The world is both big and small and I want to experience so much of it.
