When I took the featured image, we were most of the way through a long drive from Swakopmund, on the Atlantic Ocean, to the Kulala Desert Lodge, conveniently near to Sossusvlei.
The dunes around Sossusvlei defy belief; inevitably, they are the “big attraction” in the Namib’s “sand sea”.
As you can see, not all of the world’s oldest desert is “sand sea”.
As you can also see, at 4.00 pm on 21 November 2022, visibility was excellent, the wind moderate.
We had no idea how rapidly/dramatically those conditions would change…
The next chapter in this little series begins another four minutes later, at 4.22 pm.
Wow!!
