Ancient Basalt Boulder, Drakensberg

"Ancient basalt boulder, fiery heat its moulder, carved and formed by frost and storm..." - the first words of the peom The Cold, Winter Wind by Lorna Peirson. These were the words that inspired this image of a basalt boulder resting on smooth sandstone bedrock in Tooth Gully, Drakensberg. Tooth Gully lies at the left-hand end of the Amphitheatre, the iconic view of the jagged escarpment wall as viewed from the former Royal Natal National Park. Ukhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Nikon F90; 28-70/3.5-4.5. Fuji RDP-II.
