Dune 45

The legendary Dune 45 in the Sossusvlei in Namib Dessert. The Dune 45 is one of the most impressive monuments in the Namib-Naukluft National Park and climbing up in the morning sun is a breathtaking experience.

 

Just a few hours before the picture has been taken, it rained in the Namib dessert, and hence the sand was still wet when climbing up. For this reason, impressive footprints have been visible on the dunes everywhere for some time, until the rising sun dried up the wet sand.
