Three shots from the Dead Vlei one morning. (Namib-Naukluft National Park.) Was there for a few days enjoying the scenery with friends. Interesting place to visit, as is most of southern Africa. With relatives in Cape Town, South Africa makes a nice starting point for travel in the area.

Very interesting place and one that I'd love to photograph. I think that #3 may be the most successful in many ways, including its greater avoidance of "collisions" between the branches of primary adjacent trees.

Nice work.

Jim,
Beautiful backround colors for your subject.
They are all unique and strong on their own. I particularly like the tree arrangement on #3.
Congrats,
Fred

I think the most interesting/appealing is #3 followed by #1.
The 3rd has an almost abstract/surreal feel to it
Overall a very nice set.

Thanks for posting

I think we can definitely mark this place as an icon. But unlike some people I don't have anything against icons . I really like the 3rd one, the light and placement of the trees is the best.

Thanks all for the comments. Arguably the #1 tourist spot in Namibia, then again there's a reason. Beautiful place.

If you just got the separation of trees in #2 it'd be the winner for me, otherwise #3

For me the 2nd is the winner and with the limbs touching.
It gives more "feeling of fellowship" in the middle of the desert

starkly beautiful!

I feel like it's a 1950's science fiction movie set - in a good way!
