Added 2022-08-24 08:28:16 +0000 UTC🌄Conquer the Mountain🌄 This was taken in the Seweweekpoort (Seven Weeks Pass) last year. It is absolutely amazingly beautiful there. There are various explanations as to the origin of the name. The length of time it took a commando to take a band of highwaymen into the Great Karoo. The time it took the authorities to catch a rustler who escaped into the poort. Or the time it took a gang of brandy smugglers to return from Beaufort West. Another on is that the poort was named after the Reverend Zerwick. The locals could not pronounce his name and named it Seweweekspoort. My husband's answer: "That's how long it took to get through here!". Probably in an ox wagon! Most authorities though accept the explanation that the name is derived from that of the Seven-week’s fern (Polystichum adiantiforum), called Seweweeksvaring in Afrikaans, which occurs in moist places and crevices. If the mountains call I must go... We don’t conquer the mountain We conquer ourselves There you can see the world And the world can see you Have a great day everyone! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
