Sunset. Sesriem, Namibia. Nov/2015
Sesriem is a small settlement located in the Namib Desert, in Namibia, close to the southern end of the Naukluft Mountains. It is especially known because the "Sesriem gate" is the main access point to the Namib-Naukluft National Park for visitors entering the park to visit the nearby tourist attraction of Sossusvlei.[1] As many "settlements" in the Namib, Sesriem is essentially a filling station with basic services such as public telephones and a couple of small kiosks where travellers can get general supplies such as food and water.[2] In the surroundings of Sesriem there are several accommodations, such as a few lodges (e.g., "Le Mirage Desert" and the "Sossusvlei Lodge") and at least 24 campsites for backpackers.[2]
By the Sesriem gate, hot air balloons depart in the early morning, providing scenic flights over the Sossusvlei dunes

Edited MODIS Terra PR image of part of Namibia. Color/processing variant.
Original caption: The reds and oranges of the Namibian landscape form a starkly beautiful image when viewed from space. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Terra satellite acquired this true-color image of southwestern Namibia on May 21, 2018.
The Republic of Namibia sits along southern Africa’s Atlantic coast. Just offshore the cold Benguela Current flows northward from the south, effectively suppressing rainfall and giving rise to the arid Namib Desert. The Namib Desert, with its soft orange sands lies along the coast. The desert ends abruptly with the rocky outcrops and lines of broken cliffs called the Great Escarpment. Further inland the Great Escarpment gives way to a high-elevation central plateau. While little rain falls in the highlands, it is enough to allow the growth of vegetation which appears as a faint wash of green in this image.
