Description

I am back in the Namib Desert. This image was taken approximately 100 miles north of Swakopmund. I just loved the flat desertscape with the hills in the background and the fog busy burning away towards the ocean. Now, if you look carefully, you will see a mountain just visible with some clouds around it. That mountain is the Brandberg. Directly translated it means Mountain of Fire. Those of you who read Wilbur Smith will recognize the name from his very famous novel "The Burning Shore". This is exactly the setting for that book!!! I would like to extend a huge thank you for your comments and favs on my last two uploads. Your comments on my close encounter with the scorpion were hilarious and I enjoyed it thoroughly and your comments on my poem and sunset astounded and humbled me. You guys are so kind!!! Take care! Hugs, Carin xx
