Namib Desert

I’m on a short excursion to the Namib desert.  This is the tail end of the rainy season and there was a lot of rain last week, so there was a lot of green around the edges of the desert and the Sand Sea itself was somewhat muddy.  But there was also a lot of real sand and imposing pinkish dunes.

The area is definitely very scenic, with a contrast between a ground level of scrubby green, pink dunes, and blue skies.
