MacMac FallsNot too many words today, been too caught up in editing and am kinda worded-out.
The shots below were taken after we left the Kruger National Park and spent two days mooching around Mpumalanga province's Panorama Route. Mpumalanga means the place of the rising sun. It is full of stunning vistas - fertile land, lush vegetation, big skies, big mountains, and waterfalls. The place where the Drakensberg mountain range rears up to form the escarpment, the land rising dramatically from the savanna plains far below.
The visibility was pretty awful while we were there - very bright light and veld fires everywhere. Winter is the dry season in the northern part of South Africa and the grass is tinder dry. Veld fires break out at the drop of hat and air was constantly filled with a gauzy layer of blue smoke as far as the eye can see. Despite taking a gazillion photos, these are a few that I managed to salvage from the rotten visibility.

Robber's Pass as it winds down to Pilgrim's Rest, a quaint touristy spot that's been stopped in time. (Pics of Pilgrim's Rest will follow another time.)
