On top of the Platberg mountain in Harrismith, South Africa. A challenging trek for a newbie mountain climber like myself, but so worth it. The landscape is surreal. Like looking out on a post-armageddon world...

Clouds gathering around the edge of Platberg Mountain in Harrismith, South Africa. A town and a mountain worth some of your time. Hike it, climb to the top and get some amazing views of the dystopian landscape surrounding Harrismith.

This place was just wonderful to wake up to. The sand stone type mountains with the sun rising just behind it early in the morning. People don't normally stop just outside Fouriesburg but there missing out.#BvSApplication
