The Golden Gate Highlands

[Morkel Erasmus]

An image from a 2011 trip to the Golden Gate Highlands National Park, South Africa.

The Maluti mountains which you see here are part of the greater Drakensberg range...and are distinguished by their interesting sandstone cliffs/faces. Directly over the mountains you see here lies the kingdom of Lesotho (which is landlocked by South Africa all around).

Techs:
Canon 7D with 10-22mm USM @ 10mm
f16 @ 0.4 sec @ ISO-100
one exposure, tripod mounted
Kenko Pro CPL used

Great clouds and sky, lovely light and great use of bushes for foreground interest, nicely composed Morkel

Morkel - this works very well. Colors look great and the comp is nice as is sharpness throughout.

TFS,
Rachel
