The morning light brings such a magical glow to the hills surrounding vast plains dotted with trees beautifully spaced between each other, Namibia is a special place for photographers lucky enough to visit. #namibia #africa #landscape #landscapephotography #travel #travelphotography #mountains

Fish River Canyon, in southern Namibia, is the second largest canyon in the world (next to Grand Canyon). The Fish River is 800 kilometers long and, thus, the longest river in Namibia.

As one drives Namibia, what enhances its beauty is its vastness and its vacancy....endless km of spectacular geology void of inhabitants. #namibia #landscapephotography #wildlifephotography #dunes #mountains #openspace #desert #mountains #sand #drivenamibia #winhoek #openspace #africa #southafrica

Arrive well before the sun comes up if you visit the Quiver Tree Forest in southern Namibia. I promise you, it will be well worth the effort. #quivertree #namibia #travelphotography #nature #travel #landscapephotography #sunrise #namibiatourism #namibiatravel #flowers #fineartphotography

It's remarkable how stable and massive (and epic) the dunes are in Sossusvlei. #sossusvlei #namibia #deadvlei #desert #namibiatravel #namib #travel #travelphotography #dunes #sossusvleidunes #nature #naturephotography #landscape #photography #safari #travelnamibia #namibie #landscapephotography

The shapes, the light, and the shadows seem endless as one can explore Sossusvlei from sunrise to sunset and always be mesmerized. #sossusvlei #namibia #deadvlei #desert #travel #travelphotography #dunes #nature #visitnamibia #naturephotography #landscape #photography #namibie #landscapephotography

The light and shadows play so wonderfully against the textured landscapes and rolling hills of Namibia.

It's like a Chocolate Kiss being illuminated by the early morning light on this magical Namibian landscape. #namibia #windhoek #travel #landscapephotography #safari #nature #travelphotography #desert #photography #namibdesert #sossusvlei #visitnamibia #wildlifephotography #naturephotography

When in Namibia, a "must-see" is Kolmanskop. It's an abandoned diamond mine town (ghost town). Literally, a town (housing, hospital, school, administration, meeting rooms) that the desert is slowly reclaiming as sand piles up in all the deteriorating buildings. Great to see and photograph.

The "endless" dunes of the Namib desert..or folds of fabric. Such remarkable geology. spectacular. #namibia #travel #southafrica #nature #travelphotography #desert #photography #namibdesert #walvisba #ocean #waves #sand #dunes #wildlifephotography#naturephotography #Namibia #3landscapephotography

The Namib desert flows into the Atlantic Ocean for some 1,200 miles from South Africa up to Angola. Remote....spectacular. #namibia #travel #southafrica #nature #travelphotography #desert #photography #namibdesert #walvisbay #ocean #waves #sand #dunes #wildlifephotography#naturephotography

Near where the Erongo and Kunene Regions meet in Namibia, even small areas of sand make the most interesting patterns and contrast to the surroundings. #Namibia #landscapephotography #sand #dunes #travelphotography #photography #travel #desert #mountains #africa #remote

Namibia's vastness has a unique tranquility. It's such a joy and privilege to visit and photograph.

Like dancing ballerinas posing in this magnificent setting of Deadvlei in Namibia. #deadvlei #namibia #sossusvle #desert #namibdesert #africa #namibiatrave #travelphotography #travel #namib #nature #landscapephotography #dune #namibiaphotography #landscape #naturephotography #photography

Shortly before sunrise, the stars are starting to fade but the glorious quiver trees begin to be illuminated in southern Namibia.#quivertree #namibia #quivertreeforest #africa #southafrica #landscape #travelphotography #nature #travel #landscapephotography #sunrise #flowers #fineartphotography

The sun/shadows accentuate the remarkable shapes that the dunes take in Sossusvlei in Namibia. It's always a treat to visit and photograph in Namibia. #namibia #travel #wildlife #nature #travelphotography #desert #namibdesert #walvisbay #sossusvlei #wildlifephotography #dunes #naturephotography

So, I am new to Blue Sky and it is appropriate to make my first post from my favorite country to visit and photograph - Namibia. So, my question to is, and a play-off of that famous kid's riddle "why did the Oryx cross the road?"
