Please view this image on my website where it will display against a dark background at it's intended resolution and sharpness.
Ghost rain hangs from a retreating storm cloud over the mountains of the Namib Rand as last light crawls up the highest peaks in the area. This specific shot was taken on Excelsior and it looks onto the plains of Dina.
The Namib Rand conservancy is a private nature reserve that is formed by a collection of consolidated farms that have been bought from farmers by people who use it simply to enjoy nature. Most of the fences on these farms have been taken down, allowing the wildlife of the area free movement between the desert wilderness and these farms that provide plentiful grazing after the summer rains.
In a world that is primarily just being destroyed and harvested for personal benefit, it's good to see nature conservation on such a scale being done completely privately.

Travel The World Vol. 4 - Namibia
"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page."
St. Augustine of Hippo
The world offers so many breathtaking locations and places to see and not everyone is able to visit them in person. With this new feature series I invite you on a journey to discover and enjoy the beauty our planet offers. Let's travel the world!
Namibian Deserts, Namibia, Africa
Namibia, with its wide deserts and savannahs, offers several amazing places worth a visit. The Sossusvlei area - remnants of the Tsauchab river that is silting up about 50km from the Atlantic coast - is one of the dryest and oldest deserts of our planet.
