Figure 40. Panoramic view along the south side of Windhoekberg W, showing the steep, shaded
southern slope, the collections of rocks and gravels forming a skirt around its base, and the small
drainage lines formed by previous runoff. Note the lack of mountains to the west towards
Springbok and the Namaqualand habitats.
Figure 41. Panoramic view over the north side of Skelemberg, showing the less steep, sunny
northern slope, with fewer rocks and gravels forming less of a skirt around its base, but many
small drainage lines from previous runoff and denser bushes around the 'gutter'. Hoedkop is on
the left and the Aggeneys mountains on the centre horizon.
