The Namibian desert is full of life, which struggles, is inventive, and has a beauty all of its own. Stunning gemsbok, rugged goat farmers, shy ostriches, seemingly out of place flamingos, and unique plants are all examples of survival in an extremely harsh, but beautiful environment. I expected this part of Namibia (between the towns of Luderitz and Aus) to be similar to the other deserts I have been too (namely around Las Vegas and Death Valley). However, I was blown away with both the diversity of life and geology of Namibia. Here is a collection of a few of the plants, animals, and humans that make this desert their home. The photos are more documentary than artistic. Enjoy!
