I dedicate this album to my good friend Jacques Clement in France (pfjc in webshots) whose extensive travels and excellent photography have been a source of constant inspiration.
picture: The famous dune #45 in Sossusvlei, Namibia
published by: suresh_krishna
The Sossusvlei, Namibia's famous highlight in the heart of the Namib Desert, is a huge clay pan, enclosed by giant sand dunes. Some of the spectacular hills of sand, at a height of 300 metres are among the highest in the world. Only after a heavy rainfall, which is a rare event in this area, does the vlei fill with water. As the clay layers hardly allow any water infiltration, a turquoise lake will remain for quite some time.
