Information from Wikipedia:
The Namib Desert is a desert in Namibia which forms part of the Namib-Naukluft National Park one of Africa's largest. The name "Namib" is of Nama origin. The desert occupies an area of around 50 000 km˛, stretching some 1,000 miles (1,600 km) along the Atlantic Ocean coast of Namibia, which is named after this desert. Its east-west width varies from 30 to 100 miles (50-160 km). The Namib Desert also reaches into southwest Angola.
Sossusvlei is famous place in the heart of the Namib Desert; it is a huge clay pan, enclosed by giant sand dunes. Some of the spectacular hills of sand are, at a height of 300 metres, the highest in the world.

love the simplicity of the scene, and the simplicty of colours, I find it focuses attention on the shapes and proportions perfectly. smart decision to keep the trees in the frame, they provide a great sense of scale. beautiful gentle curves on the dune, there's something sensual about that. great shot, my compliments.
wishing you a merry Christmas and happy New Year,
Kristine

Witaj Andrzeju,

Podobają mi się te czerwone diuny. Wzruszające są te drzewa, które w dziwny sposób tam trwają. Nie zdawałam sobie sprawy, że to taki duzy obszar - prawie 1/6 Polski.

Pozdrawiam

Małgorzata

Ekstra pustynia. BArdzo mi się podoba. Pustynie jak wiemy potrafią być bardzo różne. Ta widzę jest taka klasyczna. Fajne kolory i dobry kontrast.

Hi Andrzej,

I guess you know about my love for deserts ;-).
Good note! The Sossusvlei, is that the one with the stone trees?! Guess it is. I still can remember some postings you did on this valley. Wonderful.

Greetings! Dennis

Witaj Andrzeju
Zdjęcie, które wygląda prawie jak flaga państwowa, składająca się z trzech kolorów ;). Piękna ta afrykańska wydma, gdy myśleć o kolorze, o formie, o fakturze. Piękne jest również to ujęcie, proste w kompozycji, z pięknym światłem.

Spokojnych Świat Bożego Narodzenia i pomyślności w Nowym Roku :).
