entry description
This series of images was made in early 2016 in the Northern Drakensberg, on the border between South Africa and Lesotho. It's a magnificent region with dramatic landscapes and breathtaking views. The photographs show the iSingathi Valley, as seen in incredibly soft early-morning light from the escarpment; the sunrise as seen from the top of Ifidi pass; the first sun rays reaching the Sentinel peak and the Tugela falls, as seen from the Amphitheatre; and the Tugela river flowing with the Amphitheatre in the background. Rewarding moments after long and challenging hiking days.back to gallery
