The snow-capped mountains


This is an areal shot of snow-capped mountains in central Lesotho.
Breathtakingly beautiful in June.
I along with two other members of the media team took a ride on a
small plane through the mountains to get this shot.

Lesotho is a small country surrounded on all sides by South Africa. The people that live in these mountains are cut off from the rest of civilization. Not much has changed in the last 100 years. They are literally cut off from the rest of the world during a good snow storm.


We rode mountain ponies to get to one area.

Children saw our progression and took off running over the mountains to get to the meeting site. We watch them "fly" down the rocky mountains, through villages, shouting at each other to hurry. Really beautiful.
