Finalist – Desert Storm – Driving to Sossusvlei in Namibia, I was greeted by a haze of sand blowing off the dunes and sandblasting my bakkie. I ventured out with my camera covered in a dust bag. The wind was fi erce and I had to steady myself against the car to take photos. But I actually enjoyed the eerie atmosphere the sandstorm created around the trees, as if nature wanted to demonstrate its force but still show its beauty. – By Dirk Lombard, Paarl.
