You may have guessed, but posts have been a little out of order. The Quiver Tree Forest near Keetmanshoop was our first real stop after a long drive from Windhoek. First, we arrived in the afternoon and spent an hour or two in the forest as the sun set. There were no clouds in the […]
Namibia Dunes
A rare sight as we left Luderitz, with clouds and rain over the dunes. The way the light and shadow was falling on the sand resulted in the first “Quick! Stop!” of the trip.

We would often share a rental house with the Briggs […]
