Description
What is significant of this sunset - despite it depicting much of my mood - is the fact that these hills are also the divide for gold to be found in South Africa. To the near side some of the richest deposits in the world and if you go beyond, not a nugget. When the sun sets, the lions on these hills roar in unison, as if to guard this sacred divide. Am I too romantic? Yeah, I guess I am... May you have a peaceful week ahead.

Stuning work!! Love it!! 5+
Absolutely gorgeous! As is the description.
beautiful
One can never be too romantic in my opinion:-) Stunningly beautiful as usual Piet, interesting about the gold..and I find it interesting that lions roam the hills as usually when we see them in documentaries they are always on flat land. Its so very nice to learn about where you and others live! So boring where I am, lol! (city life)
Fantastische Aufnahme..überwältigend schön!
wow, this is such a wonderful glow
An impressive capture, Piet. What a fiery sky! Can't help but be moved by the thought of hearing lions roaring in the far off hills... I hope to hear it for myself someday. So I guess that makes us both 'romantics'. -M :^)
Stop hypnotizing the members here with your brilliant photos... :)
Splendid photo and colors!!! :)
wow what a spectacular shot, Piet, and I would love to hear the lions roar...smile

I see the shrouded sun as emanating rays of power. Spectaular.
I like sunsets very much, not easy for photographers, but this is a masterpiece! AMAZING!!!!!

What a lovely sky! Fire! You live in a beautiful land, no doubt about that. Wonderful capture!
Great photo!!!! Excellent capture. ROBY :O)
This is amazing! That sky... incredible image!
I do not remember exactly what part of Africa H Rider Hagard wrote about in his stories of the quest for the "fountain of youth" but it would seem this would fit with some of the descriptions of the land he walked through to get there. Stunning view and the vertical dark whisps of clouds are reall amazing.
I've rarely seen sunsets with such intensity in Europe. It's a superb gift from Nature and excellent capture.
Oh, WOW Piet--the image, the words, the image in my mind of the lions---big smile on my face!
Beautiful pic Piet and thanks for the info as it really made this extra special. Amazing how riches can be in one area and not in another so close
I don't know how anyone can be too romantic. Especially in the face of this kind of beauty! And to be given that kind of serenade! Glorious shot! Bunny
A gorgeous sunset Piet, outstanding beautiful !!! Great captured !!!! :) :) :) 5+++
