Deadvlei, near Sossusvlei, Namibia
Dealvlei (dead flay) or Death Valley was created about a thousand years ago when the dunes shifted and cut off the river that maintained these trees. All that remains is the salt pan and a few trunks.
We were lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves for an hour or so just as the sun came up. For company we had a black-back jackal and a pair of pied crows that nest in one of the trees.
