A stunning version of our mountains.

Almost a European flair of the mountain peaks on show.

But this is far away from Europe at the southern tip of the African continent, and we love the constant view changes that the weather and the clouds create every day. Many poems have been written about the strength of the mountains and how they teach us to stand strong in order to endure in life and they do exactly that for us. As the saying goes that each one of us has to climb our own mountain every day, and I take this to mean that the mountains are meant to be an overcoming of our problems every day.

So, stand still as you do every day our beloved mountains and thank you for the support that you give to our mental strength. Your peaks are like sentries, and you proudly show the scars that so many years have created on you in order to show us how to persevere. You also teach us how to endure and to stay rooted in the good ways.
For the golden rule is to do to others what you want done to yourself. Which means one has to treat others as one wants to be treated.

This is a closer look at the peak in the picture above.

I am sure that if you were here, you would also take more interest in those mountain peaks. As this was where I was standing with my camera's zoom to get the peaks.

So, let's look at some more peaks below, framed by the clouds.

I will make an attempt to write a short poem here.

The mountains high in foothills roam,
to walk along like merry gnome.
Watching the peaks so high,
with the clouds so nigh.
To see the sky so near,
on my face a happy tear.
The wisdom of ages,
passed down by sages.

And finally, things started to clear up a little bit.

I took these photos two days ago and as I am typing this, I can hear the rain falling outside our study window. Let me tell you that the water is very welcome, even if it is not a storm but only a consistent, light fall. As usual I took some shots before the rain started and I will share the shots with you in another post soon. But for now, this is it as I just wanted to share the views I got on this day.
Such is life.

We wish everyone a peaceful Sunday.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
