I drove this route a few times looking at my photo collection but my slides of the views from God’s Window don’t do justice to the scene I remember. Certainly one day I was up there the valleys and Lowveld to the east were shrouded by low clouds – because I was looking down on the top of them!
The Drakensberg, or Dragon Mountains, is the highest mountain range in South Africa, rising to 3,482 m (11,424 ft) at their highest point. The range is also sometimes called The Escarpment.
As I recall, this was a view to the east across the Angus Glens. I think the glen running through this image is Glen Clova.
Having completed the task we decided to take a day off and hike around Glen Prosen. It was a glorious day and we left early in the morning for our hike, driving as far as the road went before continuing on by foot. In this image, my friend enjoys the view looking back along the glen, the trail we’ve ascended running down on the left.
I love the way the sun is lighting up the snow on the distant mountains, their ruggedness being apparent from the lines of light and dark.
