Colorchallenge: Thursday - Green - Mountains (Mount-Aux-Sources)

Green for me represents nature and rebirth as it is everywhere. I love the different shades of green you experience while hiking Mont-Aux-Sources especially during the summer and spring months. There is something uplifting and energetic about spring green for me and I discovered the reason for this feeling. During these months I do not only appreciate the warmth but also all that nature offers me in abundance.

Mount-Aux-Sources is one of the highest part of the Drakensberg mountain range at 3 050m elevations and is a basalt plateau. The Drakensberg mountain range is spread over Lesotho, KwaZuu-Natal and the Free state provinces. They have some of the best hiking trails with the most exquisite views, South Africa has to offer.

When we look at green our pituitary gland gets stimulated which helps your muscles to relax. Green is stress relieving and invigorating. We also associate green with vitality, freshness and growth.

Green on the spectrum lies between blue and yellow. The contributor to green in nature is due to chlorophyll which plants use for photosynthesis, a process where sunlight gets converted to chemical energy.

I hope looking at these photos you also felt the energy and motivation I do when appreciating them. Enjoy a fabulous week!

Keep smiling, reading, writing and voting!!

I guess that's why I was always called "a very quiet boy...". The Drakensberg are majestic, breathtaking, a place where I would like to disappear to. Words will always remain too weak to describe certain things.

Mmmm you and me both, lucky.digger. I often feel I do not have enough words to describe the majestic beauty I experience. Wish people could insert their hands into your heart to feel what you feel.

Hey @crazymumzysa... What place is this..? (I know you told its Mont-Aux-Sources). But if I may ask is it paradise? If it is not, then the real paradise will not be too different than this puctirous place.
And talking about the color green, it indeed is one of the most soothing colors to look at. Somehow it just cheers you up from inside out.!!
Awesome Camara work too. Peace

Crazymumzysa, I love your green pictures and the narrative telling of your beautiful surroundings.

Hey @crazymumzysa !!
awesome post , very refreshing, really attractive pictures. thanks for this.i really enjoyed it.
upvoted you.

Thank you fatema, I am glad you enjoyed them.

What a beautiful spot that is... thanks for sharing. I figured green had to be "good for us," even though I never really knew the mechanism and science behind it... I just know that it feels good to be out in nature somewhere "deep green."

It truly is denmarkguy, and I am sure you would love this hike. I also enjoy nature, soaking up the beauty around me and recharging my batteries. You cannot find better therapy. The concrete jungle can sometimes get too much. Enjoy a lovey weekend.

super lovely photos @crazymumzysa <3 Beautifully captured . Green also means hope aside from nature ^_^ <3

Thank you fernwehninja, very true.
