Gargantua Mountain, ©voyager, all rights reserved
Today we’re sharing Jack’s drive to get to his favourite beach. The road we take winds through Gargantua Mountain and it doesn’t matter how many times I see these cliffs they always take my breath away. It amazes me that trees can grow and thrive in these conditions, rooted in rock and hanging on the edge of a precipice. Everything here seems to grow madly and even the road isn’t safe from the creep of nature. All along it now we see plants biting into the tarmac and steadily moving forward. Every year it gets worse and there’s no effort to halt the growth. At one time there was a thriving campground and restaurant on the mountaintop, but the owner died several years ago and no-one took over. Now the buildings sit empty and the road is just used as a shortcut from here to there.
Oooh, must be difficult to keep one’s eyes on the road with that gorgeous landscape above you! So much green, it is indeed wonderful how vegetation will always find a way.
The forest will claim its own. Again and again.
The cliffs are fascinating.
What a beautiful cliff, you do have some fantastic rock around there!
Simply magnificent. I would be a bad driver on that road.
