MTBeer Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 The Berg is notorious for serious storms in summer.As a rule we generally did not do the high berg in summer and rather kept to the kloofs like Didema Gorge.Winter is the time for the high bergdid a hike in the berg many years ago. Slept in a cave the one night and a thunderstorm hit. We were in the middle of those lightning strikes. Jeez it was loud. Think the hike was Bell Peak area? Not sure if that name is right.

BSG Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Brings back a lot of memories, my youngest daughter looked like that when she was born. Surely was a job to clean after she had a nr 2. [emoji3061][emoji23][emoji23] splat 1
Bonus Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Oooooh, storms... Love them & respect the hell out of them. Hardly anything more wonderful to behold than a Drakensberg or Highveld storm. The smell, the charge in the air, the serenity amidst the ferocity. But, I've had the harrowing experience of seeing ball lightning in real life, up close, with my old man at home in New Germany, KZN. It was long ago, but damn. Never again, thanks. I miss the Jo'burg summer storms, but we do get summer storms here rolling around in the mountains and they sound fantastic!

Hairy Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 If you can't stand the heat, then stay out of this place!Over this period in time, I have been trying my hand at far more contemporary forms of "art" (if you could call it that) ... stumbled on a rendering platform that works well with both our Revit and Sketchup architectural models, and have been using this to render and animate some of our past and current projects. Still early days for me, and the images below of an older project design concept is still a works in progress, as these rough renders were just done to get a feel for where the lighting, etc still needs to go. Just bear in mind that this is a rough draft, and I am learning as I am going. Steven Knoetze (sk27), Grebel, Meezo and 8 others 11
