Next up, some pics from 07 October...

The weather was slightly weird this Sunday morning. I went out onto the stoep to enjoy my coffee, while listening to distant Elephant breaking trees. There was a layer of cloud cover that left a slight gap above the Drakensberg range.

Mireille says one is not allowed to call it the Drakensberg there, but the Greater Escarpment, or Eastern Escarpment or something. O-/

Do you take a gun when on patrol? :-0
