Here is a link to the Namibia portfolio with a few shots from the desert, it is my understanding that the trees there are very old, caught in a salt pan between high dunes. Climbing these dunes can be likened in my mind to climbing snowy peaks, each step takes massive effort, and each summit leads to another even higher one until at last one can look out over the vast expanse of sand and sky-very impressive!

Thanks for the thoughts. People have told me that the deserts of Namibia are some of the most beautiful in the world. If you have a link to some pictures, feel free to post it here. Would love to see them.

Best,

This is an interesting subject and a very fine image.

The dying forest reminds me of time I spent photographing the Dead Vlei in Namibia, but your case is very much an immediate one.

There is something about seeing irreversible change first hand that leaves a lasting impression.
