Description

Namibia 2010 I have captured this image just outside Walvis Bay. It is south of the Swakop River and therefore the "sand" desert. We were blessed with wonderful thunder-like clouds, which is very unusual for this close to the ocean, to serve as a perfect backdrop. Oh how I love that country! Thank you so much for your wonderful comments and favs on my "Desert Marsh" upload of yesterday! Stay well! Hugs Carin xx

This country that is so appealing seems gloriously empty. A place like this would be swimming with people here. I love the way you portray Namibia. Let's not tell the real estate crowd:) This is the way many of our beaches were as late as the 1950s...

Down to the dunes in autos, rather than ships. Lovely image of the variable clouds hovering over the Namibian landscape, Carin!

I love the way the clouds echo the shape of the dunes. What a gorgeous place! Your photography of Namibia is stunning, Dierbaar. :X

More open space... it seems your mind and your eye was looking for something uncomplicated while you were away... this is one of those shots that lets the mind travel as far as the eye can see.
