Sossusvlei, Namibia · 6 – 13 May 2024
The oldest desert
Red dunes, dead trees and starry skies: a week in the oldest desert in the world.
The story
How it went
The Namib is silence made into a place. I climbed Dune 45 before dawn, with cold sand under my hands and the sky growing lighter. At Deadvlei the black trees look hand-drawn. At night the Milky Way is so sharp it casts shadows. With the drone I followed the lines of the dunes to the horizon; on the way back, an oryx standing still in a mirage reminded me how little a photograph needs.
