We visited Sossusvlei, a unique valley that protrudes some 40 miles into the great dune sea of Namibia. The dunes stretch for hundreds of miles in an unbroken undulating ocean of sand, except for this finger of flat land piercing into it. Some dunes rise to more than 900 feet in height. To give you an idea of their immensity, the tree in the foreground of this photo is about 45 feet tall. Shots from Namibia. See the "e-postcard from the Cape Town Docks" for descriptions and information.
