12 Photos that prove South African Skies are pure magic

Watch the sunset with friends after conquering the mighty Orange River. Smell those big, fat Highveld raindrops during an afternoon thunderstorm in Jozi. Amble on the edge of the world at Slangkop lighthouse. Ponder stars long dead and gone, but still shining in the Karoo. Or simply just enjoy our photos of magnificent African skies, featuring all of the above…

A stunning light show and reflection on display on the second night of an epic paddling trip down the Orange River. This photo was taken from the Namibian side looking towards the South African side of the river. My camera survived being submerged in an old ammo box for 20 min after capsizing on Sjambok rapid the day after this! ?? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I delved back into the archives for a shot to submit for @instagram_sa ‘s #HPSAlandscapes project ?? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ _____________________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #southafricaza #southafrica #thisissouthafrica #meetsouthafrica

Very few things can be as dramatic as a Jozi thunderstorm . When those clouds build up over the city it’s nothing short of becoming a real Gotham City . @loves_southafrica @southafricaza @southafricanskies @storm__chasers @sunrise_sunset_heaven @ig_sunrisesunset @instachat_sa @instagram_sa @igerssouthafrica @iheartjoburg @iheartsouth_africa @cityofjohannesburg @joburg.co.za @thisisjoburg @jozi_limited @jozigrams @joburg.co.za @weexploreza #fujifilm_xseries #fujifilm #fujixt10 #fujifilmxt10 #fujixseries #fujixclub #sunset #stormclouds #thunderstorm #rainclouds #clouds #cloudporn #africa #southafrica #fuji1024
