Voted previously: Another of the very fine B/W entries in this challenge. Just a tad crunchy for my taste, kept it from a 10. 9 from me.

Cracker of an image. Landscapes are just landscapes and then there are special landscapes - this is one of those. The human element adds to this shot. Remove the human and it is just a landscape with some nice sun rays in the BGâ€Â¦. but with the human element it shows the scale and reminds us somewhat of the dangers of the big mountains. Respect the mountains and you end up with great shots like this.

I remember this pinnacle on my first hike in this area. You march for hours to get to this spot and after a short climb you come over this little saddle (with the pinnacle on your right) and look up at the Mnweni pass looking where you still have to go.
It took my breath away then and it did on this occasion too. Looking back up from where we just came down on this hike: . It was a bit daunting standing on top of the pinnacle with a blustery wind blowing and a huge drop to the right but in the end I'm glad Rian forced me to do it (well asked kindly in a stern voice :-) ). Glad my weary legs held me upright.

Lovely conversion but sadly these small dimensions don't do it justice!

Lovely balance of light, cloud and contrast. Figure adds 'life' to the picture. Like this.
