Photographer’s Note

Dead Vlei, a clay pan located near Sossusvlei, inside the Namib-Naukluft Park, is surrounded by the highest sand dunes in the world, some reaching up to 300 meters. Before Tsauchab River was reaching this place during the rainy seasons but later sand dunes encroached on the pan and blocked the river from the area so the trees living here died. The remaining skeletons of the trees which are about 500 years old give really amazing impression.
