Extraordinary



what amazed me in Nambia is that in amongst the 
hostility of the desert
there are so many little "treasures" to be found. 


this one, 
probably the most extraordinary
is called the Welwitschia. 
the Namib is the only place on earth where 
it grows. 

at first they look like a pile of big dry leaves
but once i got close i couldn't believe the details
and colors i discovered.  





these (according to the book) could be up to 500 years old...
Respect!
