View of Blyde River Canyon from Lowveld Viewpoint in Mpumalanga, South Africa.

Affords stunning views up the canyon, to the glistening Blydepoort Dam at the far end surrounded by forested slopes. The rocky cones of the Three Rondavels formations are just visible, and you can see over the ridge to the hazy plains on the far side.
