Southern Namibia

Thompson's Gazelle and Namibian Dune

Dune Near Sesriem. Before dawn the colors are mute.

Matt and Jen. Climbing the only accessible dune. The road to Sossusvlei was flooded.

Naukluft Mountains

Dune Reflection. The bizzare sight of of a desert sand dune reflected in floodwater.

The Color of Rain. Rain has dusted the landscape with soft green.

Desert Resident. The desert looks deserted at first glance but when you look closer there are bugs, beetles and lizards everywhere.

Naukluft Mountains. Some parts of the mountains received rain and turned green, others remained dry.

Naukluft Mountains. The air is clear and clean: it seems you can see forever.

The Other Way to Climb the Dune. The boys decided to go straight up instead of following the ridge. They made it.

Dune Sunrise

How Deep Is It?. Matt contemplates the river after a flash flood closes the road to Sossosvlei.

Climbing the Dune. As Edmund Hillary replied when asked why he climbed Everest, 'Because it's there'.

Unnamed Dune. The two small dots on the ridge -- they are people.
