Scenic view of mountains under a clear blue sky, with greenery in the foreground and a road in the lower part of the image.

Check this out! I took this while driving through Outeniqua Pass in South Africa. Outeniqua means ‘those who bear honey,’ while early Portuguese maps called these peaks the ‘Mountain of the Star.’ The highest point reaches 5,177 feet—almost as high as Denver! Mountains named after honey and starlight… how magical is that? 🍯✨⛰️
