From her first visit to the valley in 2002, Jennifer Gough-Cooper, a British photographer, was captivated by this tranquil landscape with its majestic mountains, great vistas, its transparent streams, turbulent flood waters as well as the exquisite detail of its rock and flora. The photographs in this volume are presented in the spirit of a song - a melodic line - evoking these natural treasures in tempo with the slow cycles of infinite time at Nooitgedacht: a place truly beyond imagination.
