Desertscapes of Namibia

Jean du Plessis, text by Tim O’Hagan

“The Namib Desert is a harsh and forbidding place where survival is a constant struggle. The starkness gives the desert a unique beauty.
Its rippling dunes higher than any others in the world. Kolmanskop’s ghost houses, empty except for the advancing sand, bear witness to the relentlessness of the elements, while the Skeleton Coast has claimed the life of many a shipwrecked sailor. The quiver tree forests in the Kalahar, the Organ Pipes rock formations of the Kunene Region, and the brooding Brandberg with its straggling welwitschia plants are among the haunting landscapes of the Namib Desert.”
