Description
A very popular vantage point from where the Mozambican side of South Africa can be seen from the rim of the escarpment. Rumour has it that on a clear day the surf of the Indian ocean can be seen - I wear glasses, so you be the judge of that!
This bird's eye view of the 3 500 million year old Barberton Greenstone Belt (see geology), Bourke

Wow...it boggles the mind as I try to decide if I'm looking at sky or sea! What a wonderful opportunities you have! :0)
Youve done it again busi2ness, I have been there ones in my life, as you said, it must by Gods window. Excellent photo.
One of these days, ill go to Africa. Thats indeed one of dream destinations....right after New Zealand...and Australia...and of course i already have a trip planned to Scotland....and Norway, lol. Gorgeous shot my friend. Really a peaceful, almost haunted, view. Have a great day. #:O)
Lovely vantage and WHAT A VIEW!
love how the foliage is silhouetted around the frame.. full of atmosphere stunning shot... excellent:) dreamy
wonderful natural silohutted framing and clouds always nice to see a view of africa from your eye!
oh my god!!!! Very beautiful vue!!! incredible color and lighting!!! very good my friend, un big kiss for my African people ;)
Nice shot.
Wonderful POV, light, effect and mood!
Very nicely done, it's always difficult taking photos of the sky and clouds, because of the glare...I love the effect of the dark foreground of the burned trees, and the crisp white clouds in the back, gives it a almost picturesque beauty, you've done it again... PS! I sure would like to challenge the GEO website on the so-called 3500 million years date that they claim it to be, but that we can discuss in another topic, sure speculation...
Wonderful capture with the silhouettes around. You weren't too lucky with the covered view, but you sure made the best of it!
Dear Friend, Wonderful picture. The clouds look as though they could swallow you up and let you enjoy the earth from their vantage point.
this is super looking
The shot is fantastic!! What a wonderful place! Lucky you!
MMMM, I don't know about the ocean but the clouds create an ocean for us!!! Love the lens flare and the stark foreground.
A beautiful view of the heavens. Absolutely Gorgeous..... Aloha
Such a beautiful view and sooo high up!
thanks for the links. they are breath taking scenery as your capture. I always have wanted to visit Africa but only a dream
Above the ocean of clouds, hidden from the rest of the world, that is truly an unique and most profound experience yielding a special mood of feeling exalted a hort time from all the hustle of life! Gorgeous work, Piet, love to see this! sigh :)
Wonderful! and once again I have to say how much I appreciate the way you present your pictures!!! (those panoramic views are also amazing!)

A place blessed by God ! and a wonderful view Piet. It seems an ocean of clouds, something unreal and so soft and peaceful ! Oupssssss I've just read that Jan-Carel has think the same thing of me... normal, he's a friend and a Nature's lover too ;o)))) It must be a fantastic country to discover and to live. I hope one day I came here and meet you ! Hugs. V
Since I can't make it to Southern Africa anytime soon, I am more than happy to let you be my virtual tour guide, Piet. You do for South Africa what Jan-Carel does for the Alps!
