Namibia is a country of many contrasts, not least of which is that there is a sharp line between the quick and the dead. And it is not always visible when one is about to step over it. I think it's that way in most deserts, from the Sahara to the Antarctic. Here, the wrong side of the line is visible everywhere. Being in it is unsettling.

Our artwork Deadvlei, inspired by and created in the Camel Thorn Valley, will soon be available in our Gallery.
