I have a heap of landscapes in here to show you the beauty.
We love to take the long roads, as there is always so much to see.
South Africa is a big country with big farms and small historical farming towns, spotted all over the country. The country is also renowned for its hot summers, and tourists flock here from all over the world. It is a photographers paradise, as the fauna and flora and also the wildlife are in abundance all over. There are nine provinces in the country, and each of them are different with respect to geology, vegetation, mountains, climate, and also beaches. Not all of the provinces are at the sea and the inland provinces differ from the coastal provinces. Two oceans are on the borders of South Africa, the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.
Yellow patches of Canola fields contrast sharply with the other colors.
Did I tell you that we love to travel on the long roads? Miles and miles of contrasting views.
There are very big farms here, and also fruit, grain, canola, olives, wine, cattle etc. In the distance, in the photo below, you can see a thin dusting of snow on the mountain rim, but more of the snow later.
They call these misty mountains.
Another faint line of snow on the mountain peaks.
Another view of the mist on the mountains.
There you can see the snow a little bit more clearly. About three weeks ago, those mountains were fully covered with snow.
A snow dotted peak above the lands.
The roads are in great condition, especially when one goes over the mountain passes.
The thing that we enjoy, is the variety of the views and they change consistently as we drive along. One moment there are mountains, the next there are huge farms, dams, lakes and nothing is the same. A feast for the eyes.
Wikipedia can explain the wildlife better than I can;
The wildlife of South Africa consists of the flora and fauna of this country in Southern Africa. The country has a range of different habitat types and an ecologically rich and diverse wildlife, vascular plants being particularly abundant, many of them endemic to the country. There are few forested areas, much savanna grassland, semi-arid Karoo vegetation and the fynbos of the Cape Floristic Region. Famed for its national parks and big game, 297 species of mammal have been recorded in South Africa, as well as 849 species of bird and over 20,000 species of vascular plants.
Do yourself a favor and visit the source link above, as I am sure that you will also be amazed.
And that's all friends.
I hope that you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
