Sossusvlei: The Oldest Desert on Earth, and Where to Find Its Heart

The Namib is the oldest desert on Earth — somewhere between 55 and 80 million years old. In its southern reaches, a clay pan sits surrounded by dunes the colour of dried blood, containing the blackened skeletons of trees that died 900 years ago and have not decomposed since. The air is too dry for decay. The scene looks like a painting of something that never existed. It exists.

First day of the #wifitribe #sossusvlei #namibja weekend trip! We stopped by the tropic of Capricorn sign, stayed at a cute #restaurant with #vintage #car parts, and stayed at a nice lodge with a pool to get out of the heat. The last photo we woke up for a 5am departure for the #sand #dunes and the moon was in a cool spot.

Crimson Eclipse Over Deadvlei – Runner-up in the Creative (Advanced) category at the Toronto Camera Club.

Taken in Deadvlei, Namibia, after hiking over windy dunes and waiting for the crowds to clear. I added my own moon and shifted the tones to a Mars-like crimson.

Tijdens mijn reis door Namibië maakte ik in de buurt van de Sossusvlei een fantastische sundowner mee. Voordat de zon onderging maakte ik een gamedrive. Mijn foto’s van deze sundowner zie je op mijn website 👇

The red dunes of Sossusvlei – where the desert dances with the sky.
Here, time slows down, and every step on the soft sand reminds you that beauty can be raw, silent, and absolute.

In the middle of the tallest dunes in the world is a white clay pan - Deadvlei One of the driest places on earth, dry enough that for nearly a thousand years, nothing has been able to survive long enough to decompose these trees #namibia #landscape #sossusvlei #photography #sonyalpha
The tallest dunes in the world, the oldest desert in the world Sossusvlei, the Namib Desert. A place like no other. #namibia #namibdesert #sossusvlei #landscape #photography #sonyalpha #panorama
It may just be a bunch of sand, but each grain holds over 5 million years of history, stacked over 300m/1000ft tall At a rate of 5m/year, prevailing winds shape & carve this intricate landscape #namibia #dune #sossusvlei #photography
