[Namibia 2017] Dead Acacia Trees of Deadvlei, Namibia
The harsh, often unforgiving environment of Namibia created landscapes of a rare and precious beauty. The Kalahari Desert’s treasures take the form of strange, ethereal trees and uncommon wildlife. In Kolmanskop, beauty came in the guise of decay and in the remembered spirits of the miners who forged a life for themselves on the edge of the desert.
In Sossusvlei, the wonder is the land itself. The area is famous for its massive sand dunes, sculpted and smoothed by the wind in a desert completely devoid of surface water. The same winds that create the dunes also change them, and the sinuous lines and forms that amaze today may be different tomorrow. Even their colors change, the striking terra cotta easing into browns and beiges as the sun waxes and wanes.

This image shows a scary message. Today's Jungles will convert in tomorrow's Deserts. We should make environment protection a higher priority.
Nice capture as usual 👍
While I do believe mankind has a real impact on the environment, I want to add that climate change has been going on for millions of years: the Amazon rainforest once was a desert (and will be again thanks to some multinationals).
That we finally manage to lead a sustainable lifestyle or that we destroy the planet so that the human being cannot survive. We will die before knowing the outcome. Better enjoy this kind of view while we can (optimistic nihilistic style) !
Thanks for sharing ;)
you did a really good job

Wow!! Makes me wanna visit the place despite the harsh environment. I wonder what kind of animals survive here. Looks like it's from a different planet out there.
