I came across this breathtaking photograph taken in spring 1971 in Nkandla, Zululand.

And I cannot believe how lucky the photographer had been in having witnessed nature at its most brilliant and serene best.

This is what the photographer had to say about the shot:

...during a two-hour walk through the hills to bring communion to a sick old lady, I saw this old tree on the rocks coming to life again after the winter.

U can order the photograph in an electronic format from the site design-africa. The sight offers many other gems from Africa.
