Lonely Tree, Etosha National Park, Namibia

The story behind the image

We drove very slowly from the Halali restcamp towards Okaukuejo that day, watching our surroundings for ‘special activities’. It’s not a long distance by any means, so we took our time and put in several stops.

At first, there was nothing too exciting. However, this single tree grabbed my attention as it stood isolated right next to the Etosha Pan – a lake that is dry most of the time, hence the white color – which resulted in a nice white background.

Lovely.
