The company I entrusted my fate to.
After heavy rainfall, roads in the Namib desert were closed due to flooding... but I don't see the water...
Spent the night in the Dunes and this was riding the camels out of the dunes the next morning. Would do it again in a second... wonderful night under the stars!

The highest sanddune in the world (300m), at Sossusvlei in the Namib desert
Deserted miners town near Ludertitz, on the Namibian diamond coast. The desert is lowly taking back the village, which has been deserted since '76
Ok, ok, not the 29 Palms town from California and probably, not the 29 Palms from the song either - just a small oasis in the middle of vast Saharan "sandness" near Merzouga. My northerner's nature found the sight quite surreal and forced me to press the shutter. Hope you like this shadowy refuge too :)
We've seen it all... appeared to be the expression of these sheep in the face of the oncoming Saharan sand-storm. The white "wall" in the background is sand, lifted up and carried by the wind. The sand would change colors depending on the density of clouds above, but at this point it just seemed like a white, impenetrable wall. Seconds later, the wall would be where the sheep were in the picture. Once you are in the middle of it, you cannot see further than a couple yards and the sand has it's evil ways to get EVERYWHERE. I had to hide my eyes and my camera. However, the little Canon still remembers the experience, whenever I try to rotate any dials. The sheep did not seem to be bothered though...

Amazing to see how trees find means of survival in a dry and scorching environment as the Namib
