More desert








Above: rock mountains, sand mountains; the giant nest was built by a colony of social weaver birds - a small bird - the entrances to the individual nests are underneath. "Namib" means "vast", and the Namib desert is considered to be the oldest in the world - 55 million years; visiting it does feel like being transported to an alien, inhospitable, prehistoric world.
