My 400th, view from a dune of the Sossusvlei. I think you have no idea about the size here - so please have a look to the band of the footsteps over the dune in the front to the right. The heigth where I'm looking from is about 80m.

Sossusvlei is a clay pan in the central Namib Desert, lying within the Namib-Naukluft National Park, Namibia. Fed by the Tsauchab River, it is known for the high, red sand dunes which surround it forming a major sand sea. Vegetation, such as the camelthorn tree, is watered by infrequent floods of the Tsauchab River, which slowly soak into the underlying clay.

Good evening Achim

Congrats on both. 400 is certainly a proliferating gallery to be proud of and the foto itself is just unique. Minimal yet strong in its concept of the vastness of the desert in very warm colors

Compliments and my best wishes for 2009

HI Achim

Well done! Congratulations on your 400th!

A stunning compo. THe dunes are awesome. Colours and textures are amazing. At first I was sure of the scale, (ie. just how large these dunes are) but then I noticed the tracks in the FG. Amazing size! Awesome POV used.

Great photo Achim. TFS.

Best wishes,
Martyn

Hello Achim
Congratulations for your 400th. That's a great photo you share with all of us today. The color of the desert is splendid and the details perfect. On the thumbnail,I thought it was a close up but seeing the footprints, I knew how big it was. You had a marvelous point of view for shooting both the shady and the sunny sides of that dune.
Bravo
Serge

Well, it looks like I arrived just in time to congratulate you and wish you so many more postings as the grains of sand forming this splendid dune!
I would've taken this as being an image from Mars, had the mankind reached it! By foot... :)))
Outstanding work!

Diana
