54.20: KwaZulu-Natal: Baboon Rock, Little Switzerland, somewhat south of the Big Switz...

When we come across beauty in the wilds, it feels like a reward. When we focus on the source of such beauty, we obtain a better understanding of where we live and that such beauty is a mere tease of what exists. (JCL) 

Sunrise in the mountains. Yet another perspective of the Amphitheatre (to the left). Different position from Drakensberg Retreat but not that distant for a crow or two. 
Later in the day, The Amphitheatre cools under clouds.
Facing the Cone early in the day.
The following day, Jen returns from the peak of the Cone. The contrast is staggering depending which way one faces.
You may have noticed one of us particularly likes reflections.
The early morning light created special effects.
The baboons spot Jenni stalking them and flee. She has been known to have that effect upon people and animals except bears, snakes and more recently, cows.
This guy is in panic as he fears the worst in me. You might not be able to discern the movement, but he was quivering in his proverbial boots. If you look very closely, you'll notice droplets of sweat flowing from the poor guy. Friends! (Romans and...). There's a lesson for you all to learn from this.
Jenni considers the consequences of going down, through and up versus returning to the chalet for breakfast and a nap.
Little house on the prairie. It might need a bit of work.
The Drakensberg Retreat, one of our favorite places to stay, situate on the mountain plateau above this lake.
Down below are some of the chalets of Little Switzerland. Our car is the sole occupant of the park. This of course proves, contrary to popular belief, we don't always take our car with us when we hike.
This lake we often viewed from a different angle (place) at the Drakensberg Retreat.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
