Natural splendour, real musics, wines, wordpower
The Namib’s “sand sea” has to be seen to be believed…and when you do see “our” planet’s most exquisite dunes, you may still wonder if you are dreaming, or hallucinating.
Namibia also has the most beautiful rock faces I have ever seen; as is also true of Central Australia’s rocky ranges and outcrops, their beauty is in part thanks to the highly specialised vegetation with which they are sparely “punctuated”, rather than fully “clothed”.

Atlantic fog-factor permitting, early morning affords your eyes and camera their best chance to experience/capture crisp, sharp views of some of the world’s most astonishing vistas.
(Namibia’s western side is one of “our” planet’s least rainy regions, but also one of the foggiest)
Once the sun is “high” and the heat is “on”, the light becomes flatter, yet harsher, and heat haze destroys fine detail.
However, late morning has its own special charm…
