JOURNEY IN NAMIBIA

Namibia is for the most part a very large unpopulated desert or, more precisely, a collection of deserts, each with their specificities. 

It is also an ex-German colony, with an history which has left various traces and, sometimes, scars.  Diamond mining was the name of the game, a particularly tough and demanding activity, located in one of the most inhospitable deserts of the world.

The remains are ghost towns gradually conquered by the desert sand dunes.  Paradoxically, this is now one of the most instagrammed place of the world.

To summarize:  Namibia, with its bright light, scenic landscapes and well-kept dirt roads network is a must-go place for travel photographers.

So I went for a journey in Namibia.
