Description

Namibia 2010 This is the 4th image in the Spitzkoppe series that I shot in Namibia in February 2010. A couple of youngsters did some rock climbing and I was lucky to just catch one of them as they were coming down. Once again this helps giving a sense of scale of how enormous these formations are. I have circled her on the image! Thank you for your wonderful support in comments and favs in this series! I am thrilled that so many of you are enjoying it! Stay well! Hugs Carin xx

Excellent capture. You get the feeling of being in the land of the giants. A very impressive place where the rocks are the size of houses.

OMG, no denying Spitzkoppe is one huge rock formation after seeing the size relationship in this striking shot, Carin! Spitzkoppe seems so softly sculptured, as opposed to being sharp and craggy, possibly because of the abrasive effects of winds and sandstorms in the area. Incidentally, using a search engine, I tried translating the word, Spitzkoppe, into English, but to no avail. I believe "koppe" means "head" in English, and Spitz possibly meaning Spits, but that's about it.

I don't have the strength but I have the desire to do this. Especially since it would seem the likelihood of finding a scorpion or snake on the rocks on the way are slight...not much for them to hide in. :-) Fantastic pov.
