With long traveling distances in Namibia, you look at anything that is different.
Rounded bare hills
Trees growing only where there must be a source of water.
Bushman's Hat (Hoodia gordonii)
A rare house
Solitaire...a restaurant, a bakery that sold ice cream, a graveyard for vehicles....
Tomorrow we will see the dunes in the Namib-Naukluft National Park of Namibia, but we needed to find a place to camp.
Unfortunately, it was a big holiday weekend, and all the campsites had been reserved.
Probably knowing that not every reservation party would show up, and that we would just camp outside the gates for free, the park rangers said we could camp in between several sites. They gave us very specific directions to find the spot.
Of course, not one of the spots around us ended up being used. But we were near the swimming pool and a nice ablution building.
A big tree with a big Sociable Weaver nest overlooked the pool.
Sociable Weaver Bird
Ring-necked Dove
It was a balmy Baja-type night with a very dark sky and small moon.
