  • Snow covers the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho (left) and KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa, as far as the eye can see, in this aerial view northward along the Drakensberg escarpment.  Photo taken at an altitude of about 3,400m (11,200 feet) from a Search and Rescue helicopter crossing the Nkosazana Ridge during the Drakensberg Snow Rescues July 7 to 11, 1996. This flight was part of an extensive 3-day search and rescue operation, coordinated jointly by SANDF 15 Squadron and the Mountain Club of South Africa (MCSA).   The operation was initiated after receiving multiple missing person reports in the wake of the record snowfalls of July 1996.  Ten helicopters were utilized in the operation: 4 Oryx, 4 BK117 and 2 Alouettes.  In total, the search tally grew to 123 known to be unaccounted for – mostly overnight backpackers.  All 123 were subsequently found, 66 were airlifted to safety, and the remainder, well prepared and in good health, chose to decline assistance.  MCSA Mountain Search and Rescue team: Andrew Haliburton, Graham Smith, Steve Cooke, Greig Stewart, Carl Fatti, Egmont Geodeke, Gavin Raubenheimer, Jeremy Farquhason, Mike Maxfield, Sean Bartleet, Ian Bailey, Dr Ian Forsyth, George Morphis, Tod Collins.  Lt-Col Eric Elphick headed up the team from 15 Squadron, comprising pilots, engineers and aircraft support.  Nikon F90, Nikon AF Nikkor 28-70/3.5-4.5D.  Fujichrome Velvia RVP 50.

  • The southern African Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus) - or Lammergeyer - is currently endangered and likely to become extinct.  Originally common throughout Lesotho, the Free State, Eastern Cape Province and KwaZulu-Natal (along the Maloti-Drakensberg mountains), the Bearded Vulture now only breeds and forages across a fraction of its original range. Current (2011) population estimates are in the region of 100 breeding pairs, down from over 200 pairs 25 years ago.  Here, this rarely-seen vulture-like eagle of Africa catches the sun's first rays while the grassy slopes of the high Drakensberg remain in deep shadow.

  • The restaurant terrace at Cathedral Peak Hotel is doused by a passing summer-afternoon thunderstorm.  The Drakensberg escarpment is one of the highest rainfall areas in South Africa, receiving more than 1,500mm per year.  About 85% of annual rainfall falls during the summer months (ie October to March), most of it directly as a result of orographic effects and the associated violent thunderstorms, like this one.  They are typically preceded by a mid-morning build-up of fluffy cumulus cloud and fully developed by midday.  Lightning and heavy rain is frequently accompanied by hail or sleet.   Just as quickly, they dissipate by mid-afternoon, often setting the stage for spectacular sunsets.  uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park, Kwa-Zulu-Natal, South Africa.  Nikon F100.

  • Woven wire baskets from South Africa. This style of hand-woven basket made from telephone wire is a contemporary development of the old craft of grass weaving. This is a traditional hand craft and artistic expression of the Zulu tribe from South Africa. In the new era of wireless communications this is a great example of recycling or reuse where a redundant material can be repurposed as the sole ingredient of beautiful folk art.

  • Springfield Main Street Bridge (1929), also called Willamette River Springfield Bridge, is a 3-span continuous Warren through truss bridge over the Willamette River, between Springfield and Eugene. Striking features of this bridge, constructed in 1929, are the graceful arch-shaped curvature of its polygonal top chord geometry, decorative concrete railings and entrance pylon ornamental lights. The bridge was designed by Conde B McCullough, acclaimed bridge engineer and designer of many arched bridges on the Oregon Coast Highway noted for their beauty and innovation. Other notable features: it is one of only three pre-1941 continuous truss designs, and it is the largest non-cantilever truss span in the state. Lane County, Oregon, USA.
