This was such a superb post in so many ways. I had it opened up in a window and kept looking at it and thought I had left my footprint... and yet I didn't.
For that, I apologize. You are such a great steemer and I dislike when I intend to leave a comment for a wonderful post and I forget...
As an aside, this part of Africa is so truly beautiful and someday, I hope to spend some time there.
Have a most fabulous week, Joan!

Again beautiful photos from this awesome landscape with all this fauna and flora. But the first pic I love the most. When you look to the horizon, you think it was clouded, but in the small lake you see the real sky reflected. I love that one.

With light changing, the photography off one of the many small ponds around the golf green was a lot of fun @ikarus56 thanks for visiting.

So green. I really like the pond. I would put many frogs in there and maybe a few ducks.

Lovely pictures Joan and enjoyed doing this walk with you! Great to see you use the travelfeed tag this time round! Hope they pick it up :)
I like the rock formations and it does remind me a little bit of the spires on Edinburgh Castle, pretty structures! I can imagine the rush of the water as well down there. Don't go interrupting any golfers now :)

Had a book many years ago about how the area obtained the name relating to the Edinburgh Castle, now I have seen both I relate to why they named it so.
Amazing to think wind and water beating the sides of sandstone create such wonderful master pieces.
Golfers get irate when you in their way, look comical standing a few hundred meters away yelling....

@joanstewart,
Beautiful pics, all. The one with the "Castle" ... literally, awesome.
I spent several years in Africa (considerably North of you) and your pic with the baboon triggered a memory ... it would make a good post. And the porcupine quill ... Africa has the largest porcupines (or the porcupines with the largest quills) in the world. They are ... spears.
Drakensberg ("Dragon's Mountain") ... what a great name for a mountain range.
God's Country.
Quill

Castle is on the road into the area so where I was standing it is looking back down the valley to the coast.
Africa you find strange, dangerous or beautiful around every corner, keeps you on your toes. Have yet to see a wild porcupine, have seen their dens, have a collection of quills varying in size and length.

Lovely photos @joanstewart, we used to go to a place called The Cavern Berg. Its quite near to the Sterkfontein Dam. it was stunning there.

Each nook and cranny has it's own beauty @claudiaz.
Have never visited Cavern Berg, stayed in Royal National Park (Northern Berg) at the hutted camp Tendile, which is in the same area.

Nice to see more of South Africa and that mountain range.
I think I saw who steals the golf balls on a photo above. Not gonna snitch, though.

A great post Lady Joan and the Berg is so lovely that its beauty is indescribable. How well do I remember the baboon's late afternoon bark and we found the caves where they sleep. We unfortunately only visited the southern part of the berg once and your post is stunning!
Blessings!

Over the years we have hiked to most places in this region, now I enjoy ambling along viewing nature.
Have been fortunate in visiting many areas in the berg, south being closest travel time, approximately 3 hours, with prices increasing year on year, this is where we pop in whenever we are able.

Very wise to keep the distance as short as possible. Also in our case when we lived in Gauteng, as the northern parts were the closest. We always had to wait for one of the congregation members to donate their timeshare in the Berg to us whenever they couldn.t make it!

Travel has become expensive in our own country, living in Gauteng we visited northern Berg regularly, now in Durban it makes sense to go southern Berg.
Time share is also costly, going into retirement one can only hope to keep it up, we normally share with family members so everyone has a turn to get away.
