Namibia has some of the strangest beauty on earth and with the population of Idaho and not many visitors, you never have to share it with many people. The even have the rare distinction of a damn tasty national lager (Windhoek). It's one of my favorite places.
Bull elephant, Etosha National Park.
Jackal in rainy season wildflowers, Etosha.
Cape cobra raiding a weaver's nest, just a meter off our hiking trail in Solitaire. It's one of the deadliest snakes in Africa, which is saying something.
Same, trail, different deadly animal. This little scorpion could seriously ruin your day (dead without medical attention).
Ostrich taking a break, Etosha.
Yum.
And they weren't kidding. We saw these rare desert elephants not far from that sign, just hanging out on the side of the road. People pay thousands of dollars to see desert elephants.
The Sesriem canyon in the rainy season. It only floods for a few weeks, if that, every year.
Ancient stone carvings in southern Namibia.
Sossusvlei dune desert, one of the most stunning places on Earth.
And again.
And one more time.
Shipwreck, Skeleton Coast.
More rainy season beauty. This river usually flows once a year and that green won't last more than a few weeks.
Etosha park is astonishing.
ReplyDeleteEither you're becoming a great photographer or Namibia is really an exceptional place to be (or maybe both)
Joe would say your pics are wonderful but maybe you would need a little bit more action in it : any plan to go to Lybia or Syria again?
Yes, that is exactly what I would say! You know me too well.
