While hiking Suikerbossie yesterday morning we were caught by surprise in a hail storm, fortunately after a quick dash we found shelter beneath some trees lining Myberg's ravine. Stuck literally between a rock and a hard place we had no choice but to wait. Once open paths soon turned into gushing streams, as ice quickly pooled along the grassy banks. When the temperature started to fall we huddled still closer with Bacco-dog hiding between our legs. In our silent waiting we marveled at the sight and sound of the storm pummeling Table Mountain's southern face. Breathtaking, raw and all encompassing, it passed over the mountain (and through our reverie) in a way that was refreshing to say the least!
Later that evening the sky was something else, and I couldn't resist capturing it's ethereal beauty to share here with you. Both these images are free to download as desktop wallpaper.
