The location behind
The Sossusvlei area has some of the highest sand dunes in the world. they are of orangy/red color and very impressive.

2. Straight Namibian Roads
Why I love this photo
It feels like you are there on the road by yourself. I can feel the location... but maybe it is only because I was there 😉
The location behind
Namibia has a lot of straight roads like this one. I was so amazed by the ladnscape that I asked the driver to stop. I was lucky enough to have the bird playing and flaying around.

Why I love this photo
The contrast of the orange sand against the yellow grass, all illuminated by the first lights of the day.
