#Sunsets are truly special in the #Namibdesert. The dry, dusty air creates an imperceptible haze that really shows itself in the last rays of daylight. The sky glows in this dying hour unlike any moister climate. ... We lived for these #goldenhours when the desert was at its most beautiful.

There is real beauty in #isolation, in eerie solitude. The many paths each twisting branch takes, leaving behind a memory 900 years old. I could lose myself in this place, in the quiet. But other wonders within this world beckon...

The #sand in #Sossusvlei is really beautiful. Such a simple thing, the wind dances across it leaving its swirling footsteps in its wake for curious travelers like us to later discover. We were mesmerized by the #patterns. And we were intrigued by the small scrubs that somehow managed to make the sand their home. ... How has nature surprised you?

While staying at our campground in #Sesriem, we wanted to photograph the stunning stars and the majestic #MilkyWay. In the process, we found the perfect foreground for this endeavor, a #twisted #oldtree we later came to affectionately call, Creepy Tree. Can you tell why? 👻

What is your favorite #quietplace in the world? ... The #NamibDesert has a way of making you feel remarkably isolated, even with dozens of fellow travelers exploring her wonders. It's both terrifying and peaceful, beautiful and sad. It's a place of wonder. It's a place for quiet contemplation. It's a place for appreciation of #nature's mystic wonders.

Besides the dunes and the white pan of #Deadvlei, what's truly fascinating are the #trees. Because it's so dry, these 900-year-old trees never decay. This leaves twisting branches and roots full of #texture and character. It was so easy to get lost #inthedetails of this #amazingplace!
