Namib storm

[Rudi Venter]

It seldom rains in the Namib desert in Namibia, so when it does it is a special occasion! I was privileged to be traveling trough the Namib desert on a photo expedition when a storm approached and we had to stop for a while. With an average annual rainfall of around 10mm this little storm used up all the rain for many years!

Thanks for looking!

Gorgeous capture, Rudi.

Ooo that's stunning mate!
Really good stuff

Would you be interested in submitting this as an option for a new header for the website Rudi??

 

[Paul Lange]

What a great shot Rudi

 

[Pete Askew]

Nice shot Rudi and it would make a good header.

 

[Rudi Venter]

Thanks everyone!

That would be a honor Hamish!

 

[Ralph Thornton]

Rudi, your shots are always interesting. This one is another great example of that.

 

[Rudi Venter]

Thanks Ralph

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Wow - love the colour contrast from the dunes to the mountains - and the way you captured the rain almost back-lit

 

[Rudi Venter]

Thanks Chris! I can still hear the thunder in the distance.....

Rudi,

I apologize for having missed this one; what a wonderful image and a unique capture! I want to get to Africa someday, it is shots like this that explain why. Wonderful colors, great composition, and obviously impeccable timing too

Rudi,

Excellent shot mate.

 

[Alastair Cummins]

I cant see the image.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Give it a go in a bit, where Rudi hosts his photos is sometimes a little wobbly I think!

Now its working and worth the wait, lovely landscape!
