Sossusvlei is in a huge strip of red sand dunes which covers the southern part of the western coast of Namibia. It was so photogenic, that I have included rather a lot of photos here!
Spot the hot air balloons after their journey at sunrise.

Are we on the moon?
Dune number 45 (see the climbers on top?)
The fine surface sand had an almost liquid quality about it, in the way it behaved when stepping on it.

After walking on and around the specatular red sand dunes, we were driven in the 4WD vehicle to the area including Deadvlei (Dead pan).
Deadvlei is known for its dead trees which are quite sculptural and surreal.
Dead-looking trees aren’t dead! A jackal joins us for lunch.
