A simple sign made of wood and stone points the way - "Dead Vlei, 1 km". But what lies behind this short distance is an excursion into another world.
This picture captures the moment before the unreal: the moment before you reach the haunting beauty of Dead Vlei - that white clay pan with the dead, ancient camel thorn trees, framed by bright red dunes. This is where the amazement begins.
The foreground with the handmade signpost is almost like an invitation to reflect: Where is this path taking me? What will I find there? The enormous sand dunes tower in the background, the sky is cloudy, the light soft and dramatic at the same time - a mixture of expectation and awe is created.
This picture is not loud, it does not clamour for attention. And that is precisely why it draws the eye. It is a work for explorers, dreamers and desert lovers - for people who feel drawn to the unknown.
A quiet, powerful motif for any wall that is allowed to show character.
