That, I believe, is the waterfall on the Southern cliffs of the Mzimkhulu Valley, probably taken from near Mzimkhulu Cave?
Stunning photograph btw

How did you know that the pic was Blind Man's Corner, it was so cryptic 
Ok, as for "0025.jpg", it is definately small berg and based on the cliffs in the area clearly being sandstone, I have to agree with Stijn's comment about Mzimkhulu area, however, since he has already said that, lets go with the view from Fun Cave...
Btw out of interest, what filter/settings did you use to take that photo, the foreground lighting looks amazing, while the clounds and sky look almost animated, really cool effect.

@Stijn Obviously not cryptic enough, but then u r a well traveled 'bergarian'.
That is correct, what is the name of the w/f?
As regards the photo, no special filters. It is always about the light, in this case dappled light in the foreground filtered by clouds and bright sun on the clouds in the b/g. A little saturation in post processing, it was shot on slide film (velvia) though which is quite punchy.

Angel Falls 
A bit optomistic since it doesn't look anywhere near 972m, or 5m wide...

My completely wild guess would be Malolotja reserve in Swaziland, possibly near Mount Ngwenya?

The wealth of available military history jokes aside! Lets see, do you mean the going out of turn part or the putting something thats not in the Berg on a Berg quiz...
I'm thinking the former, that rocky outcrop looks very much like basalt and there is practically no vegetation, as well as short grass, so it could plausibly be the escarpment. I'm going with the Hawk.

Ha ha. @ ghaznavid the former, and no it is not the Hawk.
@ Stijn, no it is in the Southern Berg.

Well lets see, the its definately not Rhino, Verkyker, Walker, Matebeng, Random, Mlambonja, Bollard, Willson, Mzimude, or Mashai, and I doubt its in Lesotho, so its probably not Tsepeng. It is clearly an escarpment edge peak where the escarpment is less flat than it normally is in the southern berg, but is escarpment based, so it can't be Ben McDhui, Kwa-Duma (don't know if these count as southern berg), Knuckles or Thaba Ngwangwe ("the mountain of the pied starlin"), based on the shape of the mountain I am thinking its right at the end of the escarpment...
Based on the above, my second guess is Andre's Knob.
