Wednesday night's lunar eclipse

These are photos - by Waterval Boven-based Gustav Janse van Rensburg (who often contributes the finest photos to the Highlands Herald) - of Wednesday night's lunar eclipse.
Taken on the edge of Mpumalanga's escarpment, not far from Waterval Boven, these photos emphasise the magnificence of our night sky, especially where there is so little light pollution, and where the winter night's air is crystal sharp.

Black Eagle

The cold front that hit Jozi last night hasn't reached the Lowveld yet. I'm sitting next to the roaring fire at Black Eagle bush pub with my two friends Michael and Craig. They are here to again experience the amazing and world class sport climbing opportunties on offer here at Waterval Boven.

Acording to veteran climber Gustav Janse van Rensburg, the best single pitch rock climbing crags in South Africa can be found on the quartzite cliffs surrounding the town of Waterval Boven.
