Hartbeespoort Dam in winter haze.
The trail.
Sheba takes a break.
This part reminded me of the Sipsey Wilderness in north Alabama.
Not everything was brown.
Great view.
Dead protea blossom.
Dead protea with great view.
Pretty dead weed.
Weird stuff. Looked dead but upon inspection, turned out to be some sort of succulent.
Construction of Hartbeespoort Dam was planned to begin in 1902; was interrupted a couple of times due to wars. Completed in 1930.
People waterski here when the water is not yucky.
Grey heron on patrol.
Spillway.
Back side of dam.
Yellow aloe. They bloom in winter.
Tame vervet monkeys at Aloe Ridge Hotel.
The reason they are tame.
Zebra family in morning sun.
More greenery near the small dam at Aloe Ridge.
Dead aloe and rushing water.
Female kudu near hotel (center of photo, a tad to the right).
Two grey louries.
Another female kudu.
Zebra family eats. The youngster was very wary of us.
He never quit watching us. So cute!
Zebra and monkeys in harmony.
