Namib Desert near Walvis Bay, Namibia

A woman trudges up the immense dunes; tracks of a large animal to her immediate left. The desert is darkened by the clouds generated by the cold South Atlantic current of the ocean in the background. Ships wait to enter the port of Walvis Bay. Walvis is an English corruption of the German Walfisch = whale. Namibia was originally the German colony of Southwest Africa. From a slide.
