Bridal Veil Falls
Soft light beams down from a heavily overcast sky over the beautiful landscape at Bridal Veil Falls along the panorama route in Mpumulanga close to the Blyde River Canyon. This is a magnificent part of South Africa with many stunning waterfalls. Mpumulanga, South Africa
Canyon Aloes
The Blyde River Canyon is the worlds largest "green" canyon, meaning the largest canyon with flora growing inside. It hosts many amazing species, including aloes growing on the edges of cliffs seen here on a mid-summer evening. Blyde River Canyon, Mpumulanga, South Africa

Lightning Storm Over The Blyde
A mammoth summer thunderstorm whips across the Blyde River Canyon, lighting up the sky with magnificent lightning strikes. About thirty minutes before I captured this image my wife and myself got caught in a very heavy downpour about a fifteen minute walk from our vehicle. We ran back, got soaked in the process but I knew the rain would pass and magical things would hopefully happen, as sunset was drawing ever closer. We drove to the main viewpoint at the resort where were staying at, still soaked but our spirits of capturing some awesome and hopefully unique images were high. The shrouding rain passed us, giving way to an incredible light display as the faint setting sun reflected light onto the landscape and softly illuminated the mammatus clouds at the underside of the storm. To this day, one of my very favourite moments I have ever spent out in nature. Blyde River Canyon, Mpumulanga, South Africa
Lone Creek
The grand landscape, made up of endless finer details, there to be found by exploration and creative observation. This shot is a bit more experimental than my usual landscape photography. I was presented with a massive landscape, but I wanted to photograph it in a different, unique way. This is an intimate scene of Lone Creek Falls in Mpumulanga in South Africa.

Piercing Dark Skies
Brilliant rays of sunlight pierce dark cloudy skies reflecting off hazy atmosphere over the third largest canyon in the world. What a privilege it is to have this beautiful landscape within a few hours drive from home. Blyde River Canyon, Mpumulanga, South Africa
Sunset from Mariepskop
Evening sunlight blasts through a small gap in the clouds on the horizon, creating an amazing sunset over one of my favourite locations on the planet, the Blyde River Canyon. This view is from Mariepskop, the opposite side of the Three Rondawels that most tourists know. Mariepskop, Mpumulanga, South Africa
The Majestic
