View from a balloon ride above the dunes of Sossusvlei	Balloon rides at sunrise are spectacular	The color of the sand dunes changes as the light moves
Ostriches are fairly common in the Sossusvlei environment	The powerful and majestic Gemsbok is native to the area	Our safari group reaches "Dead Vlei" early in the morning before the heat
The dead Camelthorn trees in the vlei provide a surreal landscape	One can hardly believe the stark beauty of the dunes and vlei	Our group poses before an attempt to summit Big Daddy!
Big Daddy - one of the world's tallest dunes at over 1000 feet!	Our group climbing Big Daddy; the climb is quite arduous	Approaching the summit nearly an hour later!
The view from the peak of Big Daddy is fantastic - one of the most amazing I have seen	Capturing the moment	Posing together atop Big Daddy
Dead Vlei as viewed sitting atop Big Daddy	View of the surrounding dunes (and "Little Vlei") - absolutely amazing!	The red color of the sand is due to iron oxide - essentially rust
Other vleis, parched white	The run down (and I mean run) was exhilarating	Back in Dead Vlei and its amazing topography and colors
Surreal scenery in Dead Vlei	Camelthorns in Dead Vlei	Wide angle view of Dead Vlei
Dead Vlei and red dunes	Dead Vlei from beneath Big Daddy	The contrast in colors is like nothing else you are likely to experience
Dead Vlei, red dune, blue sky	Dead Camelthorns	Stark beauty of Dead Vlei
"Hidden Vlei" - adjacent to Dead Vlei	The real "Sossus Vlei" and its dunes is located a short walk away	View of grasslands near Sossusvlei taken from a balloon ride
Sesriem canyon, with its 100-ft walls, is nearby and worth a visit	The Ghost tree - Moringa ovalifolia	Sunset from Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp
