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.

Witaj Andrzejku!
Fantastyczne kolory, dobra ostrosc i swiatlo. Egzotyczne miejsce. Konar robi tutaj nastroj. Pierwsze skojarzenie to "drzewa umierają stojac"...
Pozdrawiam

Kolorystyka powala. Konar pomimo tego, że uschnięty wygląda jakby był żywy:) Bardzo dobra jakość wykonania.

Hi Andrzej,

Beatiful photo and beatiful landsacape. I think that the sky should be more blue to increase the impact of the colors.

Hello Andrzej,

This is a very dramatic shot!
It tells a story of the savage heat and dangerous conditions in the desert! The composition and colours are wonderful!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Witaj,
Co mnie urzekło: kolory, spokój tła, susza, i "portret" tego drzewa. Drzewa, które walczyło przed śmiercią... Gorrrąco.
Ciekawe, czy w Polsce będą takie zimy;) Chyba się na to zanosi.
Pozdrawiam,
P.S. Jutro jadę na narty....

Hej Andrzej!

Rewelacyjna fotografia w pieknej oprawie kolorystycznej ze swietnym klimatem , jak dla mnie troszke pozaziemskim.

Pozdrawiam

Hi Andrzej,
What amazes me here is the colour, that rusty red is so nice. I love the old tree in the foreground which creates good interest and compliments the surrounding landscape perfectly.

Wanda

Hi Andrzej,
Again a beautiful desert shot. Reddish soil gives special toning to landscape. Dead tree stump is well presented on sidelight.

O, ładnie dzisiaj u ciebie! Tak artystycznie. Kolorki są doskonałe. Podoba mi się kompozycja. Wielce ciekawy krajobraz.

Hello Andrzej,

Nice one. An amazing place. I've seen quite some very nice photographs passing by and this one adds nicely to the collection on the Namib Desert. What a nicely desolate place.
Thanks for sharing!

Have a good weekend!
Greetings, Dennis

Prawdziwa sztuka, fascynujace jest to ze to czysta natura! Inspirujace wrecz jak zjawisko, a te kolory jak czysta abstrakcja. Zatrzymalabym sie tu na dluzej.
Pozdrawiam

Hi Andrzej, Amazing light &, colours, the variety of red & pinks is really beautiful, I love the dead tree, it creates a great piece of art & the way it spreads out in the photo is excellent, superb texture, I like this photo very much, kind regards Wilson,

Hi Andrzej,
what can I write here!
This is a marvelous image, as a composition very very good seen and framed.
The light is excellent, the colors and contrasts come superb, the dead tree in this environment and the background adds a strong effect.
The hills at the background come superb clear with their line and different color tons.
Bravo
