Description
Please view the image on my website for more information, similar images and more recent updates about my images and travels - [link]After outdriving and shooting a monster stormcell in the Tsaucheb valley all afternoon, the storm headed Southwards into the dune sea just a few km short of the Sossusvlei 4x2 parking lot and I headed into the cracked pans to get ready for sunset. The magical recipe of geographical circumstances at Sossus did what I knew it would and the sun dipped in below the cloud cover briefly illuminating the dunes in blood-red light and painting a partial rainbow in the storm. I've experienced a lot of amazing sunsets in my life, but the location of this was one was just too good to be true and I all I could utter was a few laughs of disbelief.

This is captivating, is there anyway we could get a Wallpaper version for the desktop? I have a 1920 x 1080 resolution.

I... don't know what to say about this, other than it amazing. I've never seen anything like it at all.
Great photo.
