South face of the Magaliesberg during a dry and hot summer
Summary[edit]
| Description |
Afrikaans: Uitsig op die Magaliesberg weswaarts van Dewetsnek, Noordwes, tydens 'n baie droë en warm somer. Selfs dan onderhou syferwater uit rotsskeure 'n lewenskragtige kremnofiet-gemeenskap teen die kranse. Watersypeling en afdalende oggendnewels tydens koeler, natter weer skep 'n klam mikroklimaat in die boonste klowe en skeure wat lokaal Afromontane-woud en die gepaardgaande inseklewe onderhou. Tydens mooiweer navigeer verskillende voëls, groot en klein, die lugstrome wat die eskarp meebring. Twee swartwindswaels (Apus barbatus) is hier kwalik sigbaar teen die lug afgeëts.
English: View of the Magaliesberg westwards of Dewetsnek, North West, during a very dry and hot spell. Even then water seepage through rock cracks sustains a vibrant community of cremnophytes on the cliff faces. Water seepage and blanketing or descending morning mists during wetter weather also result in a moist microclimate in the upper clefts and defiles which sustains pockets of Afromontane forest and its associated insect life. In clear weather, birds large and small navigate the updrafts created by the escarpment. Here, two African black swifts (Apus barbatus) are just visible, etched against the sky. |
