A happy Friday to all.

Today I will show you how the clouds wrap the mountains.

The peaks are millions of years old and they can tell you many stories of how they battled against the armies of storms over the centuries.

One can only wonder how many times the water laden clouds blanketed these mountains and the effects of the water and the sharp African sun resulted in many wrinkles on the rock faces. I think that they call it ageing as my face now seems to do the same :)
But with age comes maturity and wisdom, although I am still waiting for the latter.
Let's have a look at the ageing process of the mountains.

Not a very bright sunshine morning as you can see below.

Now watch that lower white cloud coming in from the left in the next photos.

And finally, that's a wrap.

Oh yes, it is a slow process, but so nice to just sit and watch the action. There is nothing that the mountain can do against the onslaught of the clouds, except for standing rooted in the strength and knowledge that it will not last and that the sun will shine again.
I view this the same as when the clouds (problems) appear in our lives. We know that it will only last for a while and the mountains show us here not to panic, but to rather endure in the knowledge that it all passes.
Think about it!

We wish all of you a happy weekend.

And that's All Friends.

Lovely clouds and mountains, @papilloncharity. I grew up in an area with mountains but now need to travel to see them, and always love to see pictures of beautiful mountains.

Thank you milady and yes I also grew up in the far north of the country on a farm that had some great mountains. But then as kids we moved with my mom to a big city and all of the time there I always longed for the mountains. Now at last before my life ends I have the mountains again and the bonus of the sea.
