Storm over the Namib Desert

A sense of foreboding as the storm approaches over the desolate desert landscape. This was the first major storm to approach Swakopmund, Namibia, in early 2017. The rain did not reach the small coastal town but much needed rain did fall here about 60kms east of Swakopmund near a small mining town called Arandis. I used a wide angle lens to capture the drama of the sky and for a few moments the dry desert earth was lit from behind me as the sun started to set. It tells the story of the heat and the dry land in bold ochre colours, in contrast to the dark grey, blue and purple colours of the clouds threatening above.
