After the Storm!-

A landscape captured after a typical, violent, thunderstorm in the Drakensberg Mountains (near Montusi), South Africa. The Drakensberg mountain range is the largest and highest in southern Africa, and serves as a natural geographical border between the Republic of South Africa and The Kingdom of Lesotho. The existence of South Africa as a significant industrial and mining economy depends, in no small measure, on the Lesotho Highlands watershed. Without it Johannesburg-Gauteng, southern Africa's greatest megalopolis of around 14 million people, and the African Continents richest conurbation, could not exist, as Johannesburg is the world's largest city that is not on a significant river, near and ocean or a natural lake. A great deal is owed, ro, to a long history of brilliant and ingenious hydraulic and civil engineering - as South Africa is a "dry" country.
