Patterns and variable colors in dune, 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 captures the mesmerizing patterns and variable colors of the dunes in Sossusvlei, Namib-Naukluft National Park, Namib Desert, Namibia. The image showcases a stunning salt and clay pan surrounded by towering red dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see. Sossusvlei is not only a geographical wonder but also a major tourist attraction in Namibia. The vibrant hues of pink to orange on these high sand dunes are a result of the iron concentration in the sand and subsequent oxidation processes. The oldest dunes boast an intense reddish color, creating a breathtaking contrast against the clear blue sky. Some of these colossal formations reach heights exceeding 200 meters, with Big Daddy being one notable giant at approximately 325 meters tall. However, Dune 7 claims the title for being the highest dune in the entire Namib Desert at around 388 meters. In this horizontal composition devoid of human presence, nature takes center stage. The arid landscape evokes a sense of tranquility and timelessness while showcasing Mother Earth's artistic prowess through its intricate patterns and vivid colors. This awe-inspiring photograph by Danita Delimont invites viewers to immerse themselves in the raw beauty and grandeur of one of Africa's most remarkable natural wonders - Sossusvlei.
