Soft Evening Hues and Tones in the Majestic Drakensberg

            The Drakensberg Mountains are the largest and most impressive Mountain Range in Southern Africa.  They constitute a 'natural' border between South Africa and Lesotho, and majestically straddle both countries. They are renowned for their multiple microclimates and for their spectacular summer thunderstorms.  The Lesotho highlands which they surround are critical to the provision of water to Gauteng and the Highveld- including Johannesburg, the economic epicentre of sub-Saharan Africa. Theoretically, the greater Johannesburg-Gauteng industrial and postindustrial megalopolis should not exist - but the combination of ingenious hydraulic engineering and water affairs planning on the one hand, and natural bounty from Lesotho on the other renders this vast, dry, megalopolis (sometimes a little precariously!) viable. Good summer rainfall is existentially imperative.
