Lotheni, Drakensberg

Renee and I spent a wonderful weekend in the mountains, and I took the opportunity to walk about in the veld with my camera. This is the view from the river that runs past the chalets. Although covered by clouds in this picture, the top of the mountains had a good dollop of snow on them from the cold front that passed a few days earlier.
