Skywatch Friday :
Next weekend, Hubby and I are going to the Drakensberg – Champagne Castle to be exact – for a few days and hopefully will be seeing more of the magnificent mountains than we did in 2009. It is the rainy season and that area has record rains so far … Same view but zoomed in a bit more with Champagne Castle – 3 246 metre mountain – peeping through the swirling clouds …
… swirling clouds again revealed the mountain seemingly next to Champagne Castle but is actually in front of and also seemingly higher – the 3 149 metre mountain called Cathkin Peak …. (below)
… swirling clouds then revealed the undulating Dragon’s Peak to the right …
The clouds cleared and we had magnificent views of mountains and sky (which I have featured two years ago on Skywatch!)
Let’s hope we are able to see these majestic mountains without the rain clouds next weekend …. we will be taking a good book .. just in case !

There’ nothing like those afternoon thunder storms! Have fun, I’m jealous.
Enjoy! I know we did. The Drakensberg is really beautiful. Just very very wet at the moment.
Enjoy the Drakensberg, never been there myself.
