Dead Vlei, Namib Desert, Namibia - a photo on Flickriver

Dead Vlei, Namib Desert, Namibia

            About six centuries ago the shifting sands of these dunes -- some of the largest in the world -- blocked the access of this and other trees to river water. The trees died, but their skeletons have remained perfectly preserved in the very dry heat for all this time. The orange colour of the dunes is due to the high iron oxide content of the sand. Photographed just after dawn.
