Valley of Desolation

I had heard that name before from stories my gran used to tell me of her travels but I had no idea where it was. In December I decided to plan a little road trip to Cape Town which included a stop to find little gems in the Karoo and the Valley of Desolation jumped out at me. We ended up staying in a beautiful mystical little town called Nieu Bethesda which we fell in love with immediately. We headed to Graaff Reinet at sunset to see the balancing columns of Dolerite which makes up the Valley of Desolation also known as ‘Cathedral in the mountains’. Its that type of view that makes you want to stop, sit down and just gaze in silence and awe.

 

Experience the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the Valley of Desolation with my stunning pen drawing illustration. Capturing the rugged and dramatic landscape of this unique and iconic South African destination, this illustration is a true work of art. The intricate details and expert linework bring the majestic cliffs and towering rock formations to life, while the muted tones and natural colour palette create a sense of serenity and tranquillity.
