Landscape/Seascape Contest Week #040 - Ancient landscape
The photo was taken in the Namibian desert, one of the oldest and hottest deserts in the world. This place is called Deadvlei. It is a huge clay pan enclosed by giant sand dunes and consisting of dry, cracked mud and petrified camel thorn trees more than 500 years old. They have become fossils, still standing as sihouettes against the dunes and the sky. Arriving at the pan, just after sunrise, the sunlight had just started it's play, creating stark contrasts between light and shadow across this ancient landscape. Sossusvlei must be some of the most iconic and photographed landscape in Namibia!

That's a very cool and alien landscape! Great photo!
Agree! I really liked that place. Stayed at a lodge within the national park to be able to go there at sunrise. It is magical :)
