A beautiful view of the Drakensberg Mountains in northeastern South Africa.
The Drakensberg is a mountain range 1,000 kilometres long, with mountain peaks up to 3,000 metres high. I took this image in the Golden Gate National Park, close to the border with Lesotho.
While driving through this park, you have stunning views of the green hills and mountains. Late December was summer, making nature even greener than usual.
This is one of the viewpoints along the road, with stunning views of the mountains in the background. In the foreground, you can see rocks and plants unique to this area. Across the image, the highway winds into the background, creating a nice depth effect.
It was partly cloudy that day, allowing soft light to fall on the landscape, creating calm colour tones.
All in all, a nice view of the famous Drakensberg Mountains, with lots of depth and calm green tones!!!
