Description Reprocessed for the new site - [link]

I captured this 3 years ago in a reserve in a mountain valley just outside my home town. Though the lane still stands, the plantations around it have burned down and the ground within the reserve is being rehabilitated to it's natural flora. So this scene will never be the same again.

Wow. That is an extremely beautiful and inspiring picture. I never imagined anywhere in South Africa looked like that. I plan to travel more and hopefully visit Africa. Again, great photograph.

I like this picture because when I look at it, it leaves me with that wonderful curious feeling of "Where will this lead me when I travel down it?" Good picture!

possibly to some pretty nasty places, it's Africa after all.

Not at all unlike something out of the concept art for LOTR. Misty colors saturations and lots of shadows. Honestly, i'm stunned.

The landscape is quite similar to that you'd find in North-America.

South Africa! :3 I didn't think I'd look like this. Also, it's so strange to think you have winter in June.. the word 'June' conveys images of sunshine and flowers and tall grass... must be the other way around for the people there :3

Lovely shot <3

Great work there!

I don't agree with about 9/10ths of DD's. I think most are poorly chosen. You are among the 1/10th!

Well done!
