Flying to Pretoria ...

Just some interesting shots taken on my flight to Pretoria last evening


Table Mountain and the Cape Peninsula before sunset


















Kayalitcha from the air













Kayalitcha and Macassar













The sandmines at Macassar - my guess is that that dunefield is doomed in the long term, much as I'd like to see what remains preserved as a nature reserve










Eerste River mouth

Such a stupid place to site wastewater treatment plant










Hexriver mountains - from left to right Buffelshoek Peak, Milner Ridge Peak and Milner Peak that we climed in October 2006 - see the blog posts posted by myself and Andi with lots of photographs from that climb

You can see the dam beyond from where we started the climb






Milner Ridge Peak just left of centre and Milner Peak just right of centre












Matroosberg at the end of the Hex mountains just before they peter out at the edge of the Great Karoo











Sunset as we near Johannesburg


















There was a huge thunderstorm as we decended into Johannesburg

Below are a couple of pics of the lightning
























I was just taking pics and hoping to catch the lightening












I got lucky a couple of times













Bang













Crash
