POBPhotoContest - The Natural Beauty of Green in Nature.

jacoalberts in Proof of Brain • last year

This is my entry for this week's #POBPhotocontest. The Contest is hosted by @friendlymoose. If you would like to participate in this contest's fun, read about the rules in this post by @friendlymoose.

The theme for the contest for this week is "Green".

I live in Durban, Kwazulu Natal, in South Africa and we have a tropical climate in our area.

This is something that always drew me to Durban...it is always green along the coastline. Well, after being here for 20 years, we also complain about not getting enough rain at times and about the area being dry.

But if you compare it to places such as Johannesburg and Pretoria, it is always green down here.

During the summer months, you will find some beautiful green scenery up in Johannesburg too. But during the winter months, everything dies and it goes brown and dusty. Many people love the winter scenes of Johannesburg. I know my oldest daughter loves to see the scenery in Johannesburg during autumn. But personally, I prefer seeing green around me...lol.

We love going out to the Valley of a Thousand Hills, just west of Durban. The photos I would like to share today were taken of one of those outings.

We stopped over at one of the coffee shops with a beautiful view over the valley.

I went outside and walked down a bit to get a nice view of the valley.

The first photo will be my entry for this week's competition.

For the next photo, I walked to a spot where nature almost formed a natural window for me to look out over the valley.

Getting a clear view of the green valley in contrast to the blue sky...

I hope you enjoyed the green scenery of Kwazulu Natal with me.

Good luck to everybody taking part in this week's contest!

I've been to South Africa once and I remember there wasn't really much green where we went.
It's nice and green where you live! Very nice!

We have many dry areas in South Africa. If you don't mind me asking...where in South Africa were you?

We made a 4 week roundtrip through southern Africa. We started in Joburg, drove up to Zimbabwe. Through Botswana to Namibia and then back to Cape Town.

Okay, that would make sense, yes. It sounds like a lovely trip to make though.

Interestingly, my dad grew up in Namibia and then moved to Joburg as a young man. So I then grew up in Joburg. But the green scenery of Durban on the east coast was "calling" me...lol!
