Hills, Valley To Mountain
Light or darkness, windswept hills where landscapes fuse into majestic mountains towering over an intimate quiet scene from below, how much we miss these places when away for any length of time.
One tries every trick in the book to create vista landscaping around our homes, nothing beats what nature offers. Gardens may create ambiance to delight, nature steals you breath away, we are forever in awe glimpsing upon them, years in the making!
Never able to mimic grandeur offered, green or golden grasses swaying on the quiet voice of the wind sweeping through, gentle haze in shimmering heat another we cannot replicate.
Rock formations carved by water, wind always special to sit pontificating what/who went through here. Seed make their way onto rocks, take root then split arranging a new system, everything has a place to grow and thrive.
Patience, time brings about what we see today, nothing is dormant, nothing is silent take a closer look you will see it.
Seen or unseen, heard but never seen the inevitable draw to rolling hills, valleys sometimes all the way up the mountain high.
Mhlopeni means The Place of White Stones! Mhlopeni Nature Reserve is placed in a valley that feeds into the Mooi River at Muden, Kwazulu Natal.
Robust invigorating nature throws us a lifeline all time, take care of it!
All photography my own using Canon Powershot SX160 IS camera during 2017 - Mhlopeni Nature reserve - Greytown. Any queries or requests please drop a comment below or make contact with me, have a wonderful day! Photography without tripod, go with the flow wherever life takes you. NB: Amateur photographer in nature, keep smiling!
Thought for Today: "Even an ant can hurt an elephant." - Zulu proverb
Beautiful landscape Joan, SA can boast of that all over the nation KZN is one of the top beautiful landscapes the country has.
Greytown just North of Pietermaritzburg, battle out there with poaching, lovely places in South Africa no one can deny that.
Have u been there before to know this?
Yes, I've worked in a lot of places in South Africa, KZN is beautiful with beaches and mountains.

What a beauty and the possibility it gives us to create and be inspired by those mountains, valleys, and hills are a way to recognize our greatness as BEING and connect with the greatness of nature and realize that the synergy with it is part of us, and we are part of it. WE ARE ONE WITH NATURE.
Thank @joanstewart 🌲
Hidden gems people find to enjoy being at one out there, very rustic the way it should be where everything comes together.

Thanks,💜 @luvshares @joanstewart
This is how it should be when the magic of what we see, smell, and feel of nature strengthens our soul and invites us to move forward without fear, without haste, and without pause with our feet on the ground but always touching the sky. I love nature
Relaxing to sit in this type of scenery absorbing everything on offer.
oh yes very comforting and allows us to absorb life energy and health.
Hello dear friend @joanstewart good day
What a beautiful reserve, I love this place.
What you say is true, we human beings can imitate a natural space, but never match the creation of mother nature, a resource that we must begin to take care of
Thank you very much for sharing these beautiful images.
Have a beautiful day

thank you for giving me luv.
Your post shows and tells clearly that nobody can beat Mother Nature as landscaper - she's a bit slower at times, but much, much better 😊

Slow but steady taking much in her stride, looks lovely and green yet was during drought when stream was but a trickle, plants and land live in harmony finding a way to exist.

Nature manages well on her own, human footprint is scarring the earth with development and no forethought.

Amazing landscape Joan. Nature is definitely the best designer.
Could sit out there all day watching life go by, as long as I'm in the shade and there is a cool breeze blowing 😅

Thanks for visiting @livinguktaiwan appreciate the mention in travel digest on @pinmapple
There are so many wonderfully unique places dotting the landscape of South Africa. For all the riches bestowed upon her, almost as many are taken away in poaching and corruption. I can never understand decimating such a beautiful country.
On another note, I love reading your words and learning more about nature. Thank you always. The terrain is gorgeous!
Hold nature close to ones heart always.
Many places we have visited, now one no longer goes unless in larger groups, roads have deteriorated now require large 4x4 vehicles which we don't possess.
Thanks for visiting, I doubt anyone understands fully the crazy going on in the world today !LOLZ
