Description
Please view the image on my website for more information, similar images and more recent updates about my images and travels - [link]After outdriving and shooting a monster stormcell in the Tsaucheb valley all afternoon, the storm headed Southwards into the dune sea just a few km short of the Sossusvlei 4x2 parking lot and I headed into the cracked pans to get ready for sunset. The magical recipe of geographical circumstances at Sossus did what I knew it would and the sun dipped in below the cloud cover briefly illuminating the dunes in blood-red light and painting a partial rainbow in the storm. I've experienced a lot of amazing sunsets in my life, but the location of this was one was just too good to be true and I all I could utter was a few laughs of disbelief.

I find that many shots of these kinds of landscapes end up very dull; not really much of a focal point and you tend to get lost in it. But you have done exactly the opposite, the texture of the ground is captured in beautiful detail and leads the eye very well to the mountains in the background. Outstanding work.
