This World Heritage Site is perched on top of the mountains above Porterville where rugged and imposing rock formations frame the snow caped peaks in the distance. Driving up the convoluted Dasklip Pass to reach our destination for the day, we stopped along the way to admire the patterns in fields of the Swartland below us.
This important conservation area protects diverse wildlife and a wide variety of mountain fynbos species which were looking spectacular in their varied textures and bright colours. We had no more than 6 degree Celsius but there was not a breath of wind so we happily walked in the veld to admire and photograph the various types of plants which were glowing in the back light and also discovered little stream quietly running in the thick grass which held our attention for a while.
Driving back in the middle of the afternoon, we were delighted to see fields of white daisies among the canola and wheat fields.
