[Namibia 2017] Dead Acacia Trees of Deadvlei, Namibia

The harsh, often unforgiving environment of Namibia created landscapes of a rare and precious beauty. The Kalahari Desert’s treasures take the form of strange, ethereal trees and uncommon wildlife. In Kolmanskop, beauty came in the guise of decay and in the remembered spirits of the miners who forged a life for themselves on the edge of the desert.

In Sossusvlei, the wonder is the land itself. The area is famous for its massive sand dunes, sculpted and smoothed by the wind in a desert completely devoid of surface water. The same winds that create the dunes also change them, and the sinuous lines and forms that amaze today may be different tomorrow. Even their colors change, the striking terra cotta easing into browns and beiges as the sun waxes and wanes.
