[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Situé dans le sud ouest de la Namibie, le désert de Namib est le plus vieux désert du monde. On estime que des conditions arides ou semi-arides y sont présentes depuis 80 millions d'années.
Le désert est traversé par plusieurs rivières éphémères qui sont pratiquement toujours à sec. Dans la partie au sud de la rivière Kuiseb se trouve une immense zone de dunes mobiles qui s’étend sur 300 km vers le sud. Certaines de ces dunes – telles celles de Sossusvlei – atteignent 300 m de haut et figurent parmi les plus hautes dunes du monde.

Located in the western south of Namibia, the desert of Namib is the oldest desert of the world. It is estimated that arid or semi-arid conditions are present there since 80 million years.
The desert is crossed by several transitory rivers which are practically always dry. In the part in the south of the Kuiseb river an immense zone of migratory dunes is which extends on 300 km towards the south.
Some of these dunes - such those of Sossusvlei - reach 300 m in height and appear among the most dunes of the world.

This sims a lunar landschape! Very impressive. Pitty that it is a little unsharp. Maybe you can try with PP to improve it.
