The colourful sand in the Namib Desert makes up some of the world's largest and most spectacular dunes. It runs along a stretch of the Namibian coastline- known as the Skeleton Coast, because anybody washed up upon it would surely die under the harsh conditions.
The obligatory picture of Dune 45- the 'prettiest' of the dunes.
The dramatic view over Deadvlei, a dried-out salt pan amongst the dunes scattered with fossilised trees. The sky is bright blue, the dunes are bright orange-red, the floor is stark white and the trees black- the overall effect is stunning.
Me standing triumphant atop Big Daddy, the largest dune in the desert. Climbing up was real struggle because with every step, the sand sinks away beneath you. The descent on the other hand was a lot of fun, running down the steep sides with huge strides.
