Qurator's Photo Friday Competition #79 - Surreal landscape

The photo was taken in the Namibia, a country that has one of the oldest deserts in the world, some of the highest sand dunes in the world, one of the hottest desert on earth. I arrived the pan just as the sunlight had started it's play, creating stark contrasts between light and shadow across this ancient landscape. An absolutely surreal experience. Deadvlei is the remains of an ancient former river route. A circular depression that has been filled with water and surrounded by massive sand dunes that stretches all the way to the coast. The floor is white, consisting of dry, cracked mud and petrified camel thorn trees stretching towards the sky. The dead trees are more than 500 years old. They have become fossils, still standing as silhouettes against the dunes and the sky. Namibia has some incredible, otherworldly landscape.
