Namib Desert.

Parking area from where we started our walk over the dunes to Deadvlei. We took the shorter route of
1.5 kilometers, but to me it felt like 10 kilometers. I had to carry my cameras in a back pack on my
back and they weighed over 9 kg, or about 20 lbs.

The area around the parking area has some trees and other vegetation.

Above, right: What seems like a type of fruit, are eaten by the oryx in the area and is a source of water
for the desert animals.

The tracks on the sand show how soft the sand is and one can only use 4x4 vehicles in this area.
