One of my favourite mountains

here in Stellenbosch is Jonkershoek. It is in a magnificent nature reserve which is very popular with cyclists and hikers. It is a place to hike if you are really fit, which is not the case with me.
There are numerous little waterfalls and rivers to keep cool on hot days.

You, as usual, have chosen the best balance and framework for this very high mountain. The right DOf and the right time of day! fav

Marvelous view!

[Allison Maltese]

I can't get over your clear crystal blue skies. Do you ever have rainy, foggy days? The gates give this image a nice entry point.

[Esther Rosenberg]

That looks like a steep but beautiful hike, beautiful framed shot.

[Merrelyn]

A lovely view through the gate, it sounds like a wonderful place to explore.

Those mountains look pretty steep… the hiking trails must be pretty strenuous.

The mountain is very steep, I think it is very hard to hike and reach to the peak. Beautiful capture.

The road really leads into the photo. Really pretty.

@kvphoto @wh2021 This is just the summit, the rest of the mountain which is a nature reserve is a great place for hiking and mountain biking :-)
