Sousouvlei Dunes

Most of my photography involves people: people at work, people at play, people in conflict, so when I got to Namibia I couldn’t believe the space, empty space. There are people in Namibia, but with a density of 1.5 per square kilometre, not too many. It is a country of vast landscapes and scenes that most people only see in their dreams. There are roads that don’t make a turn until they dip below the horizon. Mountains that just pop up in the middle of the desert, alone and dusty. And then there are the sand dunes like this one at Sousouvlei- row upon row of dunes that top a 1000 feet. A great place to photograph. A great place to test Nikon’s new sensor shaking dust removal method. I changed lenses a lot and it was dusty all the time. Not a speck of dust came home with me. Great news from the digital side of things.
