Those are nice pics, yes. What were you shooting with?

Sani looks quite different in Summer! Many go there in Winter for the snow, but the green is beautiful.

Sad that they want to tar the pass!

My 13 year old son took most with his Kodak el-cheapo and the rest by my wife with her just-as-cheap Sony Cyber-Shot.
Goes to show that the place is SO beautiful you don't even need a fancy jobby :)

The snow is fun yes but I like the green more from a spectator's view.

They've tarred almost up to the SA Border post but don't know how on earth they gonna do the rest except if they closed the pass for many months which will cause a riot by the locals as the pass forms a daily trading route between Lesotho and SA.

Look tarring it will make it accessible to more people but it will lose its appeal and us 4X4 guys will the stop going there I scheme.
What they should do is move the SA Border post to the top with access to the pub without a passport as that is what is holding lots of people back. I often want to take friends there and then they don't have a passport :(

I suppose it’s called progress. I remember when you needed to do 3-point turns to get around some of the bends and thinking how sad it was when they started modifications back in the mid seventies. Not sayings it’s right or that I support it (from a selfish 4x4 perspective) but I suppose the next logical step is to tar the road.Guess those who use the pass every day will welcome the move.
