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!
