When the day comes to rest and the light settles like a veil over the landscape, Namibia shows itself from perhaps its most impressive side. This shot captures the moment when the sun is low on the horizon and the sky explodes in colour: from warm orange to glowing red to violet and blue nuances. The savannah lies still - as if under a protective, colourful canopy of light.
In the foreground, gentle hills or dark rock formations run through the picture, while the desert is slowly bathed in shadow. No movement, no noise - just the moment. It is a sunset that not only touches the eye, but also the soul. This silence speaks without saying a word.
With its clear air and lack of artificial light sources, Namibia offers ideal conditions for spectacular sunsets. The atmosphere is so pure that colours appear more intense, contours sharper, moods more immediate. The horizon seems to open up - not as a boundary, but as an invitation.
The picture tells of the beauty of the wilderness, of peace at the end of the day, and of the possibility of sensing something greater in the sight of the sky. It is a reminder of how precious the simple things are: Light, space, breath.
Photographically, the motif convinces with its balanced composition, the concentration on colour and space, and the courage to reduce. Nature photography does not bring movement into the picture here - but depth, atmosphere, resonance.
As a mural, this work is particularly suitable for living rooms, surgeries, libraries, hotels, studios or places of meditation. It invites you to linger - and reminds you that the greatest magic often lies in the passing of time.

I then bought my digital SLR camera in 2014. The first photos..
