Dead Vlei is an old pan which has not had regular water since the river changed its course. Now it just has the skeletons of old died acacias here, some of them well over 500 years old, they didn't rotten, forming a dead forest...
Dead Vlei is enclosed by giant sand dunes; Some of the spectacular hills of sand are, at a height of 300 metres, the highest in the world.

hello ANdrzej,

What a desolate landscape , very strange but very beautiful.

Hi Andrzej
One of the most common shot about Namibia desert. But I really like you picture with the petrified trees and lateral shadows

Pozdrawiam

Hi Andrzej,

I already have seen passing some great shots of this landscape, but this one surely nice as well. I'll add it to my theme 'Landscapes with WOW'. Very nice compo you got here.

Hej,
Super to jest, ma troche klimat jak obrazy Salvatore Dali. Dobry kadr, moze troche zcielabym niebo - choc w takim 'trojpodziale' kolorystycznym tez wyglada ciekawie.
Pozdrawiam,
Agnieszka

Hi Andrzej. A very well composed photo with fine calm colors and a soft contrast. I like the few and simple components in this desert scene and you really feel the hard conditions of any kind of life here symbolized by the dead trees. A spectacular scene well shown. Take care, Jens :-)

Witaj Andrzej,
It is already obvious from your nickname how you like nature. This minimalistic natural decor is a pleasant feast to the eye. Excellent colors and textures, perfectly presented composition. Great work!
Congrats,
Deniz

Witaj Andrzeju
Takie zdjęcia są dziś wskazane, bo zimno jest okrutnie na dworze, a tu jednak czuje się powiew afrykańskiego ciepła. Bardzo ładna kompozycja z drzewami oraz 'piaszczystymi górami' w tle. Piękne kolory. Bardzo ładne zdjęcie :).
Pozdrawiam

Hi Andrzej,

this is one of the nicest places around these great dunes, dead trees give a special mood, your cimposition is great, very good DOF

Compliments!

Gio

Hello Andrzej, not heard from you for a while. Great typical view of Dead Vlei. Good crop and composition. Well done. Rgds, Michael
