slide show
Namibia is known for its red sand dunes. During our visit in 2013, we were fortunate to witness a rarity in Deadvlei: RAIN!! This gallery contains images made on that rainy morning and are nothing like the bold orange and blue iconic images of the area frequently seen. They are instead made up of magical soft pastel colors seen only during very rare foggy, rainy conditions.
