Day 214 – Winter Green
Photo by Jacs_Pics
This image is a cropped section of a multi-framed panorama taken at Murchison Gap Lookout (Known as The Valley of 1000 Hills).
I have shot here a few times previously but I have not really been here in the heart of winter, to capture the beautiful covering of green.
Although it was near zero degrees and freezing cold the view is nothing short of spectacular and well worth dealing with the elements for.
Unfortunately it was quite windy so the clouds were rolling through the frame pretty quickly and the trees were blowing about.

Quick Durban KwaZulu-Natal Fact: From the beautiful buildings of yesteryear, to Durban’s brand new architectural icon – Moses Mabhdia Stadium. Built for the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup, the stadium was designed by German firm, GMP Architekten. Named for the former secretary general of the South African Communist Party, the stadium boasts state-of-the-art technology which maximizes light, protects spectators from wind, and still allows a free view outwards. Situated on a raised platform to enhance its visibility, the stadium can be seen from as far away as Ushaka Marine World. The iconic arch houses a skycar which gives unparalleled views of the city and coastline.
