Description
Scenic Namib desert with wall from WO 1
Photo taken in the southern part of Namibia, near the town of Aus during a nice walk in the area (12Km)!!
It is in the Namib desert not so far away from the closed area with all the diamonds !!.
It was in this area that there has been a battle between the Germans and the South African army, a lot of leftovers from this period of the WO I can still be found. On internet a lot of info and stories from this period can be found.
Very pleasant for tourists like we is that you can make safely long walks in this area, and due to the time of the year, winter in June on the southern hemisphere, it was during the day nice warm weather, but freezing cold after sunset until the next morning.
The scenery is breath taking in this area of Namibia!!
We made in May / June 2011 a trip through the southern part of Africa ( RSA, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Namibia) .
Thanks for viewing, and your lovely words on my yesterdays posting, a special; comments are always welcome.
Have a very nice day

Looks more like a painting than a for real place. You did an amazing work on capturing the sweep of the landscape and the gorgeous colors. The large white framing is a real asset here.
