Changing Textures Nikon z9, 70mm, 1/250, f/11, ISO 100 • Every where you look in the Painted Desert, nestled in the Jasper Petrified Forest just outside of Holbrook, Arizona, there are fabulous sights, colours, and textures. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography#newmexico #petrifiedforest #painteddesert #historicroute66 #desertshots #desertcolours #desert #arizonalandscapes #chinleformation #ancientlakebeds #earthlayers

Windswept Smooth Nikon z9, 70mm, 1/60, f/11, ISO 100 • One of the awesome things about taking time in the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest National Park is all the lookouts and places to stop or hike throughout the park. This overlook gave us a closer look at some of the windswept features. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography#newmexico #petrifiedforest #painteddesert #historicroute66 #desertshots #desertcolours #desert #arizonalandscapes #chinleformation #ancientlakebeds #earthlayers

Layers of Earth and Sky Nikon z9, 40mm, 1/160, f/11, ISO 100 • I love when I can stand on the edge of a landscape and look across the horizon into the sky and see so many wonderful, textural layers. Have you been to the Painted Desert?

Empty Lakebed Nikon z9, 58mm, 1/1250, f/11, ISO 100 • Can you imagine standing on the edge of this lake millions of years ago when it was full of water? • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography#newmexico #petrifiedforest #painteddesert #historicroute66 #desertshots #desertcolours #desert #arizonalandscapes #chinleformation #ancientlakebeds

Ancient Lakebeds Uncovered Nikon z9, 24mm, 1/160, f/11, ISO 100 • The US Southwest is a geologist’s playground! There is so much to discover and explore in these ancient lakebeds that are exposed by millions of years of erosion. Colours in the Painted Desert are in the Chinle Formation and represent different soil horizons. Colours result from different minerals present in soils with variance due to time these soils were underwater. Blue and green hues are noticed in areas that were underwater longer with lack of oxygen while reddish colours are where water table fluctuations took place and iron minerals oxidizes (rusted). For more on the geology of this area check out NPS.gov and search for Petrified Forest National Park. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography#newmexico #petrifiedforest #painteddesert #historicroute66 #desertshots #desertcolours #desert #arizonalandscapes #chinleformation #ancientlakebeds

Desert Paintings Nikon z9, 24mm, 1/160, f/11, ISO 100 • Today I move on to the last leg of our Arizona/New Mexico winter trip. While I have been back in BC since March 01, it’s awesome to take my time editing and presenting these stories of wonderful places. This last part explores Arizona’s Petrified Forest National Park. We started off Highway 40 and the Historic Route 66 section leading into the Painted Desert. Again, this is one of those places you often drive right by and don’t take the time to explore. I am here to tell you - take the time to explore!!!! • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography#newmexico #petrifiedforest #painteddesert #historicroute66 #desertshots #desertcolours #desert #arizonalandscapes

Arches in Stone Nikon z9, 70mm, 1/50, f/11, ISO 100 • We walked closer to the La Ventana Arch and were engulfed with the immensity of this natural structure. There is a path that leads right into the arch, but we were on a time schedule, so didn’t walk all the way in, but definitely will next time. I always look at places like this and think if I was stranded in the desert during a storm, it would be a great shelter! • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography#newmexico #desertshots #desert #desertshots #laventananaturalarch #sandstone #jurassicagesandstone #wondersoferosion #erosion #sandstonearch #geologygeek

Sandstone Structures Nikon z9, 70mm, 1/100, f/11, ISO 100 • The geologist in me loves to geek out on rock cliffs and erosional features. Sandstone is one of the funnest structures to see effects of wind, water, ice, and gravity. La Ventana Natural Arch area goes on for miles with tons of cool cliffs to geek out on! • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#newmexico #desertshots #desert #desertshots #laventananaturalarch #sandstone #jurassicagesandstone #wondersoferosion #erosion #geologygeek

La Ventana Natural Arch Nikon z9, 70mm, 1/2500, f/2.8, ISO 100 • When you take roads less travelled you find hidden treasures along the way. The La Ventana Natural Arch in New Mexico is one of those gems. This arch formed over time from freeze/thaw and erosion cut out of Jurassic Zuni Sandstone formed 160 million years ago. The area is now protected and stunning to see up close. This arch - meaning “window” in Spanish is the second largest natural stone arch in New Mexico. I definitely want to come back to this park and shoot some dark sky images! • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#newmexico #desertshots #desert #desertshots #laventananaturalarch #sandstone #jurassicagesandstone #wondersoferosion #erosion #geologygeek

Grasslands of New Mexico Nikon z9, 70mm, 1/2500, f/2.8, ISO 100 • I have a pull out shot of Nikki playing ball and wanted to share with you some of the grasslands of New Mexico. When growing up my father, who grew up in Magdalena, New Mexico, would describe how wonderful and beautiful the grasslands of that area were to him. He would talk of how the grass would move with wind and look like waves on an ocean. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#newmexico #newmexicograsslands #desertshots #desert #desertshots #mylab #ourpup #traveldog #ballplay

Finally, Some Play Time Nikon z9, 70mm, 1/5000, f/2.8, ISO 100 • Have you been missing this little beauty?? She is such a great travel dog and so patient in short stops, but she totally loves it when we find some out of the way fields where she can get great ball play time. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#newmexico #newmexicograsslands #desertshots #desert #desertshots #mylab #ourpup #traveldog #ballplay

Looking Back Down Nikon z9, 38mm, 1/160, f/11, ISO 100 • Salt River Canyon is beautiful on all sides. I highly recommend going through during daylight hours, so plan your trip accordingly. This shot is taken from the top lookout when we got to the other side. Such geologic majesty! • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #desertshots #saltrivercanyon #desertlayers #canyonlands #saltriver

Original Bridge Nikon z9, 34mm, 1/80, f/11, ISO 100 • In 1930, Arizona highways looked for a viable place for all weather traffic to cross the Salt River. This section of highway 60 North of Globe was the best spot, so work began on a unique bridge for the time that was not only functional, quick to construct, but also piece of art. This was the bridge we crossed over every time we traveled across the canyon from the time I was a kid well into my 30s. While it was replaced by a high traffic bridge in 1996, this original bridge still stands and foot traffic can walk across to the old rest area. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #desertshots #saltrivercanyon #desertlayers #canyonlands #saltriver #bridge #engineeringfeat

Down to the River Nikon z9, 34mm, 1/80, f/11, ISO 100 • There is a visitor centre now at the bottom of Salt River Canyon and the old gas station that I remember from when I was a kid is now abandoned and crumbling. From what we could tell, you can no longer take these steps down to the river. I was happy to see this new visitor centre detailing the richness and history of this stunning canyon. This river has fed and nourished communities and cultures for hundreds if not thousands of years. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #desertshots #saltrivercanyon #desertlayers #canyonlands #saltriver

Barren Canyon Lands Nikon z9, 65mm, 1/80, f/11, ISO 100 • When you live in beautiful British Columbia with towering lush forests, wide rapidly flowing rivers, colourful oceans and you over look this ongoing huge canyon, it definitely feels barren and foreboding. I can only imagine what early travellers must’ve felt coming upon this canyon. The sweeping barrenness is almost overwhelming. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #desertshots #saltrivercanyon #desertlayers #canyonlands #barrencanyon

Switchbacks of Time Nikon z9, 54mm, 1/125, f/11, ISO 100 • I remember as a little girl out riding in the hills of the Southwest with my dad when we would go up and down crazy switchbacks. They used to scare and thrill me all at the same time. The first (and every time) we would travel through Salt River Canyon, these better engineered yet steep roads in switch backs made me dizzy and amazed at the ingenuity of road building. If you look close on the right side of this shot, you can see some of the first switchbacks in and out of Salt River Canyon. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #desertshots #saltrivercanyon #desertlayers #switchbacks #roadbuilding

Canyon Layers Nikon z9, 42mm, 1/125, f/11, ISO 100 • One of my favourite things about canyons is seeing the geologic layers that water erosion uncovers. It’s no wonder this area is known mining as you can see the richness of the earth as shown in the canyons. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #desertshots #saltrivercanyon #desertlayers #miningarea

Deep into Salt River Canyon Nikon z9, 42mm, 1/250, f/11, ISO 100 • There are about three routes to head over to Albuquerque from the San Tan Valley. We chose to head out through Superior, Globe, and Miami to Salt River Canyon. We have some crazy memories of this lovely canyon, so it was fun to spend a little time stopping at all the overlooks. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #desertshots #saltrivercanyon

Desert Content Nikon z9, 400mm, 1/250, f/11, ISO 100 • I always like to end each documentary series with shots of my adventure companions. It was fun to see Len and Tony together playing in the desert, eating sunflower seeds, laughing and joking. I think everyone needs a day away just so they can find those precious moments of contentment. This concludes the Corchan area series. On to our trip to New Mexico next!

Our Desert Guide Nikon z9, 120mm, 1/80, f/11, ISO 100 • I want to give a huge shout out to my long time friend, Tony, for being our desert guide to the Corchan Area and the Coke Ovens. It felt like we were back in high school again playing out in the desert all day without a care in the world. I swear Tony knows every inch of Arizona, and I can’t wait to have him show us more next winter!

Coke Oven Decomposing Nikon z9, 560mm, 1/50, f/11, ISO 100 • Here is a close up of a couple of the Coke Ovens - one that is crumbling and lost its upper stories.

Florence Coke Ovens Nikon z9, 560mm, 1/80, f/11, ISO 100 • I’ve heard about the Florence Coke Ovens and was so excited Tony knew how to find them. As they are on private land, we could only see them from a high point above. “The ovens were used to reduce mesquite wood to coke, a hotter burning fuel, for use in smelting gold and silver taken from surrounding mines. The beehive-shaped stone coke ovens are each about 25 feet in diameter and 30 feet in height. Each has a ground level entry and a few upper level vents. The mesquite wood, burned slowly in the ovens for days, yielded the coke. The new fuel was then transported directly across the Gila River to the community of Cochran (now a ghost town) and the smelters there” (source: https://www.desertusa.com/desert-arizona/florence-coke-ovens.html) Cochran Road area South of Florence, Az • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #tontonationalforest #geology #cokeovens #mining #desertshots

Desert Beauty ★彡𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔彡★ 📍Landscapes and scenes of Namibia Ever had an unwanted and negative travel experience that turned into a positive one? ******************* On our way to Namibia, we were supposed to have brief layover in Munich, but one that would not be long enough to leave the airport and explore the city. Well, life had other plans. Technical issues with the plane caused a delay, which became a longer delay, and a longer delay, until we finally we were able to take off a full 24 hours after the original intended departure time. The technical issues were so serious that the airline had to fly in a second plane from Seattle so that they could get us to Namibia the next day. Needless, to say, it was a frustrating experience. At least at first it was. Well, as luck would have it, that extra day in Munich just so happened to coincide with the first day of Oktoberfest (hence the last few picks of the carousel). I couldn’t think of a better way to “forget” those unexpected transit issues. In the end, we had a blast (even if we did miss out on a day in Namibia).  ******************* #namibia #beautifullandscapes #worldphotography #traveldestinations #africa #landscapeshot  #desertshots #landscapelover #landscape_hunter #globalcapture #awesome_globepix #travelstory #travelcaptures #discoverearth #passionpassport

Desert Mountain Layers Nikon z9, 90mm, 1/200, f/11, ISO 100 • As a geologist, primarily studying the South West in the early part of my schooling, I tripped on the wonderful desert layers in all of the places we visited. These sandstone cliffs were magnificent to explore with my camera even in the bright light of mid-day.

Desert Horizons Nikon z9, 110mm, 1/2000, f/2.8, ISO 100 • Why this shot? Well, to me it is the quintessential view of how this Sonoran Desert goes on and on to the horizon. In addition to the sheer expanse of this desert, what speaks to me in this shot is the fertile green dip where an old windmill and cattle coral are tucked away in the bottom. This desert will collect water where it needs to sustain life.

Desert Majesty Nikon z9, 130mm, 1/320, f/11, ISO 100 • When you spend an entire day immersed in the desert, you really appreciate the majesty of this incredible landscape.

Grey Back Mountain Nikon z9, 200mm, 1/200, f/11, ISO 100 • For those of you who have followed me for a while you probably recognize that I employ a documentary style to present my experiences. Today we move on from the Salt River to the Tonto National Forest Cochran recreation area where we spent a day exploring the desert with our friends Tony and Lisa. This shot is of Grey Back Mountain. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #tontonationalforest #greybackmountain

The Old Cowboy Nikon z9, 200mm, 1/2500, f/2.8, ISO 100 • From the first shot I took of the stallion in the trees to this last shot of the Old Lieutenant (I’m assuming) was only 35 minutes. The light was already fading off the water leaving shadows deep and colours muted. This last scarred horse reminded me of an old watchful cowboy. What a treat it was to watch this entire herd of Wild Horses sleep, wake, cross the river, and meld into the woods on the other side of the river. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #riverside #wildhorses #horses #wildhorsesofsaltriver #rivercrossing #oldhorse

After the Rest Nikon z9, 200mm, 1/2500, f/2.8, ISO 100 • As the Stallion watched the rest of the herd and was still drinking part of the way through the river, the lone couple from the first few shots I shared finally crossed. This girl is such a beautiful horse. I wouldn’t mind owning one like her. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #riverside #wildhorses #horses #wildhorsesofsaltriver #rivercrossings

The Stallion Nikon z9, 200mm, 1/2500, f/2.8, ISO 100 • While we watched the herd I spoke with another photographer who was from Montana. She came every year to photograph the wild horses. She told us that in the herd there was the matriarch mare that led the herd when they travelled and the Stallion that watched over the herd and went at the end. The Stallion had a lieutenant who was always with him watching as well. This stallion was the one who had his eye on me in the trees and watched the entire herd cross (except for the one couple that was separated from the herd). He was beautiful to watch. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #riverside #wildhorses #horses #wildhorsesofsaltriver #rivercrossing #stallion

Opposite Shore Nikon z9, 200mm, 1/2500, f/2.8, ISO 100 • When the horses reach the opposite shore several of them rolled in the sand. It was fun to watch these huge horses gleefully frolic like kids at the end of their river crossing. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #riverside #wildhorses #horses #wildhorsesofsaltriver #rivercrossing

Trio Nikon z9, 200mm, 1/2500, f/2.8, ISO 100 • After the first long line of single file, the horses spread out some and started crossing in smaller groups.

Single File River Crossing Nikon z9, 110mm, 1/200, f/11, ISO 100 • Within several minutes of watching a few horses along the river, the first ones started crossing. They were immediately followed by more. For about half an hour we watched the horses cross mostly in single file and some in groups. It was fascinating and beautiful. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #riverside #wildhorses #horses #wildhorsesofsaltriver #rivercrossing

Starting to Cross Nikon z9, 170mm, 1/160, f/11, ISO 100 • As we watched the couple of horses I posted yesterday, horses up river started moving into the water. Horse nap time over, it seemed, so we settled in with a small group of other observers to see what would happen next. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #riverside #wildhorses #horses #wildhorsesofsaltriver

Companions Nikon z9, 70mm, 1/12000, f/2.8, ISO 100 • We moved down river so we could see more horses. It was a great view point with the sun behind our backs. This pair of horses were apart from the rest of the herd and stayed that way the entire time we watched. I’m curious as to their story. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #riverside #wildhorses #horses #wildhorsesofsaltriver

Coming into View Nikon z9, 160mm, 1/1250, f/2.8, ISO 100 • I moved down the path a few feet and more of the herd came into view - all of them still. Holli explained that they were napping as her horses always nap around 3pm. This photo taken at 3:18 meant it was definitely nap time! • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #riverside #wildhorses #horses #wildhorsesofsaltriver #naptime #horsesnap

Hidden Nikon z9, 200mm, 1/500, f/2.8, ISO 100 • Holli and I headed down the river searching for the horses. We agreed to go half an hour and then turn around. After about 15 minutes I had a feeling to stop and listen. Sure enough a quiet neigh came right below where we walked. There hidden among the branches of the river stood the Wild Horse Band. The fact that in this photo the horse is slightly blurred as the camera focus was on the trees in front shows just how well they hide. This large stallion stood and watched me as I watched him. I inched closer staying close to the trees worried that my white shirt or click or the camera would startle the herd, but he remained calm and just watched me. It was the start of an hour watching this marvellous group of horses and their behaviours. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #riverside #wildhorses #horses #wildhorsesofsaltriver

Riverside Green Nikon z9, 84mm, 1/60, f/11, ISO 100 • After exploring the amazing scenery around the Salt River Wild Horse Management Area, Holli took me down to the Coon Bluff Mud Cliffs. We hiked down the river on our search for the wild horses.

Winding Roads Nikon z9, 70mm, 1/200, f/11, ISO 100 • Travelling around Arizona is always winding roads through deserts and mountains. This shot taken of North Bush Highway. I like the way it shows a typical Arizona two lane road as well as a winding dirt road into the desert. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #cactus #windingroads

Desert’s Protection Nikon z9, 160mm, 1/200, f/11, ISO 100 • We all managed to avoid getting caught in cactus during our winter trip. They were definitely a different type of beautiful. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desert #cactus

Purple Desert Touches Nikon z9, 80mm, 1/60, f/11, ISO 100 • Heading back to desert photos now that we are home safely. This shot taken near the Water Users Site off the Salt River shows the starting of spring desert purple blooms. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desertwater #desertflowers

The Veil Nebula Complex *(NGC 6960, NGC 6992, NGC 6974) nebula lies about 1,500 light-years away, and is a supernova remnant, left over from a massive stellar explosion that occurred between 5,000 to 8,000 years ago. So at the end of last year, I captured an image of the Veil Nebula Complex. It marked the first attempt at employing the mosaic method use the ZWO AISAIR. Despite 8 nights of imaging, I was only able to use 4 nights of data. This was due to 3 sessions with unintentional variations in gain, and then another night, I left the bahtinov mask on all night lol. A good reminder that astrophotography is a game of patience and imperfection. I plan to layer more onto this image, exploring further possibilities in post-processing down the line.

Desert Water Nikon z9, 70mm, 1/100, f/11, ISO 100 • It’s always fun for me to see water in the desert. This shot was taken at Water Users Recreation Site off North Bush Highway the day we were looking for wild horses. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#arizonalandscapes #desertshots #desertwater

Desert Green Nikon z9, 70mm, 1/320, f/11, ISO 100 • Heading back to some desert photos today. I love how the desert is greening up and how it sets off the Four Peaks in the background. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#fourpeaks #amethyst #amethystmine #arizonalandscapes #desertshots

Four Peaks on a Sunny Day Nikon z9, 200mm, 1/250, f/11, ISO 100 • When Holly and I started out on our adventures to find wild horses, this was one of the first landscape shots I took. I keep seeing incredible photos of Four Peaks on Arizona sights. I definitely want to head back out to photograph these at sunset and not in the bright light of mid day. These peaks are a prominent view from Phoenix and are the site of a top grade amethyst mine. • #nikonphotographer #photographerlife #capturingtheshot #livingphotography #photography #Verotography #arizona#fourpeaks #amethyst #amethystmine #arizonalandscapes #desertshots

Old shot from 2018 I think - haven’t shot a landscape for a while. Trying to focus on life - last few years I don’t know what to say- a lot of good road trips and a lot of waste of time photos. For the record it’s never a waste of time to go to Arches Park :) I have since been more interested in weddings and people photos - trying to find new friends and get some sort of life going in grand junction - will get out soon with my tripod I hope. . . . . #landscapephotography #archesnationalpark #moabutahphotographer #moabphotos #landscapeslovers #desertshots #oneofclaireswasteoftimelandscapephotos #utahphotographylocations #utahphoto

📍 Somewhere in Saudi Arabia After arriving into Bahrain by plane, we took the King Fahd causeway to enter the Kingdom and stayed in the city of Al Khobar. From here we drove to Riyadh which took about 3-4 hours. The road to get here was well…a bit boring but pretty cool in a way. The sand dunes and the hazy sun provided a really neat, Mars-like, Bladerunner 2049 feel to it. If you have never been in a desert, you may realize just how cool of a landscape it is. We even stopped along the road to take in the view because it was just so cool to see with the city backdrop in the distance. . . . . . #ecksplorer #cktheexplorer #visitsaudi #saudiarabia #thekingdomofsaudiarabia #sauditourism #ksa #passionpassport #discoverearth #natgeo #sauditourism #seesaudi #saudiroadtrip #exploresaudi #lonelyplanet #middleeasttravel #desertshots #sandsofsaudi #sanddunesfordays #welcometoarabia #gea_saudi #enjoysaudi

Big Daddy - Deadvlei, Namibia, 2024 Wie bereits erwähnt war der Moment, alleine unten in der Pfanne zu stehen, mehr als atemberaubend. Als glücklicher Zufall haben sich dann wenig später die ersten Besucher auf der Big Daddy Dune gezeigt. Was für ein spektakulärer Moment im ersten Licht des Tages. #namibia #namibiatravel #namibia🇳🇦 #namibiaphotography #namibiaroadtrip #bigdaddydune #bigdaddy #dune #dunes #sossusvlei #deadvlei #sunrise #afrika #africa #deinnamibia #travelgram #desert #desertshots #bestofnamibia 😍
