At first the morning shots and then the afternoon shots.
I haven't posted the mountains for a while, and I thought to show you their beauty again.
By the looks of it, it was going to be a cloudy day, but you know what thought did? It went on holiday:)
Instead, the clouds started to clear up before noon and so I will show you four shots, including the first one of the clouds resting on the mountains before the strong wind gathered them and blew them away. We were told that the temperature would be 30C on the day and early morning it didn't really look like it would get that hot.
There are signal towers on the mountain top, inside that cloud, but fortunately none of our signals were disturbed. One would think that the thick cloud like that would block the signals.
Now let me show you what it looked like in the afternoon.
The first two shots of the same mountains are below, and then the peaks of another mountain nearby are also on show.
This is the other mountain, and it looked like a sculptor carved some lines on the peaks.
In the meantime, the sculptor was the rain and his partner the wind.
Finally, a fuller shot of the peaks.
We see these mountains every day and yet, we will never get tired of them. Proudly they stand rooted to the earth to remind us that we should do the same in this life. They have seen many storms that left scars and deep crevices on their faces, but yet like old war veterans, the mountains just continue being mountains day in and day out. They also offer security to the wildlife and predator birds that nest high up on the mountain peaks. Many farms here border right below the mountains, and we often used to stroll right up to the mountains to see if we can spot some of the life in the crevices. Mostly lizards that we see, and the odd snake every now and then.
Such is life.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
