Nguni

Nguni cattle of Kwa-Zulu Natal - apparently the only indigenous cattle species in Africa.

Junkyard

Lekker South African language on this junkyard sign, somewhere in the Orange Free State (where else?)

Dragon's Mountain

The first image is of the northern Drakensberg's cloud shrouded peaks, while the white horse is taken in the southern Drakensberg - absolutely beautiful countryside.

Bottle Wall

This is a rather interesting tequila & Jagermeister bottle wall which I found in a backpackers near the Amphitheater in the northern Drakensberg.  It really added a nice atmosphere to the lounge area.

Hit the road ...

Apologies for the short delay in posting, but we just had to hit the road for a few days to get away from it all.  We didn't get far, or stay away long, but the change of scenery did us good.

Clarens

It was recommended by a good friend that if we are in the area, we should make a point of visiting Clarens in the Orange Free State (near the Golden Gate National Park).  A decision we didn't regret, what a superb village full of cafe's, restaurants and artists..............beautiful.........we will be back.  Here are a couple of snaps ...

Semi-Precious

We found a scratch patch in Clarens (Orange Free State - Northern Drakensberg) and I thought I'd snap this image of semi-precious stones (nice name for a band actually!)

Misty Mountains

I'd rather be here..............Drakensberg silhouette at dusk.

Lonely Oak

A lonely oak tree in the shadow of Champagne Castle.

Zulu Kingdom

A collection of Zulu mud huts at the foot of the Central Drakensberg, with a grand herd of domestic Nguni cattle - a sign of a Zulu's wealth & stature.
