Cold he says ! ? .................. in 36 degree C heat ??? Noooooooooooooo..........................
it was cold in August though and if you want snow pictures, here they are...........
Stopped in The Drakensberg on the way to Durban on the Sea for some summer heat. For 200 km through Harrrismith and to Pietermaritsburg was nothing but snow............
South African snow seems to be in the highlands. Have never seen an elefant with snow on its trunk come to think of it. I love the bird all fluffed up. Interesting pics.
ReplyDelete*chuckle* come to think of it, I never saw an elephant with snow on its trunk either. Hugs
DeleteTerrific photos, Marianne. Cold indeed - wouldnt want be caught out there in a snowstorm. Majestic mountain vista. Brr - poor little bird.
ReplyDeletethank you Anders, the whole of SA was surprised by this snowfall, including bird and us
DeleteThese are wonderful Marianne exceptional work;)
ReplyDeleteaaaaaaaaaaaw thank you Baz. *bows*
DeleteHi Marianne. Ha!! I knew you had some cold shots, coz I remembered the Drakensberg shots from earlier in the year. Had to look twice at that first shot, but yes I did see it.....a bird in flight!! Nicely captured. That second shot is the one I remembered, majestic and cold!! Love the snowy plains in the third shot. Mr Eagle looks a bit chilly in the last shot. Probably thinking "I'll follow Marianne down to the sea for some sun" LOL.
ReplyDeletethey were flukes those birds, had no idea I got them till after I looked on Pc. Thank you Mitch
DeleteWOW THAT LIL BIRD LOOKS SOOOO COLD
ReplyDeleteGREAT SHOTS
tx Heidi, in 36 degree C it is a bit difficult to think of winter and cold *glares at Mitch for choice of theme*
DeleteAll very nice indeed. The one of the dome, or mountain looks a lot like our steamboat mountain here in Washington. How cool. Pardon that pun. LOL I didn't mean it that time. Great works.
ReplyDeletehey funny man, how goes, my friend? Hope your dad is better and all okay at home? Great to see you!
DeleteLike the capture of the first shot.
ReplyDeleteTotal fluke, Lynda, the bloddy thing was sitting on the fence and flew off when I aimed camera at it. LOL
DeleteGreat Shots GF, Wow, I Love 'em all, What can I say, to do them Justice~!! Just marvelous and Beautiful~!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous - I love the mountain very much, and that poor little bird. I just want to wrap a blanket around her.
ReplyDeleteShe looked so cold sitting there and like " wooo, what happened to my world?"
DeleteFantastic pictures, Marianne! that's not how we imagine South Africa... the mountain picture and the bird are the ones I prefer!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kia, those 2 are also my favs of the set. It was Winter Wonderland, thank god for digital cameras , I took over 300 photos on that trip. We were driving down to get to Durban, where sunshine and 26deg and shorts and bikinis was in order, from our freezing Joburg at minus 2. Strange but interesting trip that was. Will look for the Multiply blog and see if I can repost it out of interest.
DeleteI did not know there was snow in Africa...very pretty shots!
ReplyDeleteJuly and August normally, it snows in the mountains, this year it even snowed in my garden in Johannesburg, kid you not! Crazy weather.
