These Namaqualand pages are a Web gem. They transport the viewer for a spring visit to a small area along the southwest coast of Africa, where: "With good winter rains, the splendour of the all too brief springtime in Namaqualand and surrounding areas is a wonder to behold. Displayed against a harsh and ancient landscape with vistas of granite mountains and sandy plains, the fields of flowers are striking and dramatic."
An interactive map is the guide through nineteen essays, illustrated with beautiful photographs. Included are descriptions of the varying climates and environments, geological history, and the spring flowers. For all its prowess in presenting major subjects for study on the Internet, the new knowledge available in cyberspace can be even more special for a tiny topic, like one of them here: Doorn River Waterfall of Namaqualand.
