About "Cracked Mountain, Karoo"

I love the Karoo and the colour of the mountains. The geological phenomena called the "Cape fold" mountains produces some amazing effects and I wanted to paint those. These mountains near Rouxpos look like they were once joined together before some sort of seismic activity split them apart. The Power of Nature!!
