Title: Lesotho
Post by: Martin Kristiansen on September 18, 2018, 07:24:54 am

Almost two days of driving on rough 4X4 roads to get to this remote place in an already remote country. Good camping with clean rivers for water but no other facilities at all. No toilets, no electricity, no shops, no accommodation. Lovely area

Welcome to Scotland  ;) All joking aside this is a tremendous image with the low raking sunlight picking out the foreground grasses and the sunlit rocky hill on the right balancing the dark mass of the hill on the left with the dark sky holding it all in. All this and it reminds me of the far North West of Scotland. Thanks for posting Ken

Thanks for the kind comments.

Not quite Scotland that’s for sure. Although at about 2500m it gets bitterly cold in winter. This was the middle of summer, the wet season.

That's a real treat! The absolute stillness of the water as you come on this vista stops you in your tracks making you feel you daren't inhale or exhale for fear of disturbing the beauty. Then the desire to inhale deeply the purity of living beauty~ thank you for this.

Wonderful. Reminds me of some areas in Oman, where the camping was "wild". Less grass in Oman though:)
