This picturesque town is set against the backdrop of the Swartberg (Black Mountains), surrounded by fields of weat and barely.  It is only 110 km east of Cape Town and famous for its hot springs and wild flowers.  
The seven springs, one of which is cold and the other six thermal, are warmed by contact with rocks heated by pressure deep under the ground to a steady temperature of 49.5° Celsius. Interestingly, the waters of Caledon are also free of any organic matter and when submitted, in 1893, to the Chicago World Fair, they were awarded first prize as the world’s top quality mineral waters.  Here are some images taken on the way to Caledon

At a resent fair they display roughly 600 different species of wild flowers/plants. The first 3 images are of South Africa's National Flower the Protea and the flagship species of the Cape Floral Kingdom.   Seeing that I am always practicing my photography I just had to add an abstract image I took of the flowers at the show.  The last two images are of the participants in the march through the town of Caledon
