As I ride the 90 minute trip to and from Polokwane, my shopping
town, I pass some interesting sights, geological and otherwise.
The long rock layer in the above pictures is best viewed on the ride home from town. As the road takes us closer and closer to the mountain, the mountain’s size and rocky features become larger and more compelling. Every time we go through the carved pass next to the stone walls, I see something new and intriguing among the strata. A large variety of plants (mainly cacti) grow seemingly out of the rocks, and the coloration of the different layers varies greatly depending on the time of day and shadows.
Would be fun to explore this area on foot, but probably not going to happen … supposedly snakes AND baboons frequent the area. Will have to be content with the view from my seat in the taxi van!
