In 2006 the southern part of Namibia received unusually good rains. A few weeks later the desert burst into a colorful spectacle - old-timers from this area said that it was the first time in their lifetimes that they had seen such a display.

  1. That's amazing about the burst of flowers only a few times in decades. Great pics
    So how long have you lived in Namibia?

  4. Amazing photos. I lived in Southern Africa for 50 years and saw most of it but sadly not Namibia. I now realise what I missed.

  5. Thanks for the visit and comment Diane ...

    ... yes, it's a pity you never got to see Namibia while you lived in these parts - but it's not too late yet ...
