Patterns in sand, Sossusvlei, Namib-Naukluft National Park, Namib Desert, Namibia
Sossusvlei (sometimes written Sossus Vlei) is a salt and clay pan surrounded by high red dunes, located in the southern part of the Namib Desert, in the Namib Naukluft National Park of Namibia. The name Sossusvlei is often used in an extended meaning to refer to the surrounding area (including other neighboring vleis such as Deadvlei and other high dunes), which is one of the major visitor attractions of Namibia. This area is characterized by high sand dunes of vivid pink to orange color, an indication of a high concentration of iron in the sand and consequent oxidation processes. The oldest dunes are those of a more intense reddish color. These dunes are among the highest in the world, many of them are above 200 meters, the highest being the one nicknamed Big Daddy, about 325 meters high, however the highest dune in the Namib Desert, Dune 7, is about 388 meters high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing patterns etched in the sand of Sossusvlei, located in Namib-Naukluft National Park, Namibia. The vast salt and clay pan is encircled by towering red dunes that create a breathtaking contrast against the arid landscape. Sossusvlei, which also encompasses neighboring vleis like Deadvlei and other majestic dunes, is renowned as one of Namibia's most popular tourist destinations. The striking hues of pink and orange exhibited by these colossal sand formations are a result of high iron concentration in the soil coupled with oxidation processes over time. Amongst them stand some of the world's tallest dunes, reaching heights exceeding 200 meters. The pinnacle among them is aptly named Big Daddy, soaring an impressive 325 meters into the sky. However, it is Dune 7 that claims the title for being the highest dune in all of Namib Desert at a staggering height of approximately 388 meters. Danita Delimont's skillful capture perfectly encapsulates this natural wonderland devoid of human presence. With its horizontal composition and vibrant colors illuminated under daylight, this photograph effortlessly transports viewers to an awe-inspiring non-urban scene within nature's grandeur. Whether displayed on walls or admired from afar, this Fine Art Storehouse print serves as a reminder of Earth's remarkable beauty found amidst remote corners such as Sossusvlei.
