A road less travelled

as I only drive up here once a year at the end of July.

It goes off the major road between Somerset West and Stellenbosch.

I found it by chance a few years ago as I wanted to know where it lead to. Basically, there are vineyards on the left and right, but also a row of wonderful aloes.

A beautiful scene and a great composition, Diana! I like how the road takes us to the red aloes and further on to those majestic mountains! Fav (oops- am I right about the aloes, or are they on the left?)

@pusspup I was thinking about it Wylie, but decided against it. That is the only building on that side of the road which is accessible ;-) @365projectorgheatherb Correct right Heather, on the right :-)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

So pretty! And what a view! But I confess- like Wylie, I would have removed the mirror. Just a little doctoring to feature that beautiful mountain range. I'm sure it helps with the traffic- and it is reflecting another part of the beautiful scenery.

[John Falconer]

Great looking road trip.
