Description
Namibia 2010
This salt water marsh was captured way north on the Skeleton Coast - in fact about 100 miles north of Swakopmund and very close to where the Skeleton Coast National Park starts. It is about 300 meters from the ocean and I was fascinated by it. The flora is all succulent type plants. I wish I had someone with some knowledge on this specific ecosystem with me to educate me a little more!
Thank you for your wonderful comments and favs on my upload "Alone" of yesterday.
Stay well!
Hugs

What a wonderful find. Great shot.
wonderful landscape! GREAT photo!
Fantastic shot! love the colours!
This thriving life in the lunar landscape of the Namibian coast is very striking. I love exploring marshes of all types, I could spend weeks examining and photographing the life in this one!
A very amazing place and so very beautiful too. A wonderful shot, Carin.
What a beautiful view you captured! The marsh is so fascinating.
That's gorgeous! Isn't nature amazing? Well captured!
The very title is amazing, a marsh in the desert is just so unlikely and yet here you show us how beautiful it is--wow!!
Very nice indeed...you need to import Andrea...realizing she'd want time to do a little homework on your area:)
Fascinating that it seems so similar to our temperate equivalent! You did comment on my pic of one http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=2011640&user_id=525276&np&np These areas are vital for migrating birds in the UK. Maybe it's the same there.
Fantastic view. Very interesting landscape, I like very much the colors of the vegetation. Excellent shot!
Wonderful view! :)
Awesome shot!
Amazing what water will do with an arid area...very nice scene here..
a fascinating landscape, so many different grasses and colors
There are an array of colours, apart from the fisherman there doesn't seem to be any other people around? Lovely picture!!!!
wonderful ! Namibia ...my next trip !!!
different colors and different vegetation:all in one,in the desert
Lovely landscape and some beautiful colours.
Fantastic shot! love the colours!
wonderful, splendid image!!!!
Beautiful scene!
The colour gradient is really awesome in this capture.Superb photography and landscape.
Superlative POV and DOF employed in this capture of the marsh with its vast array of succulents, Carin! Kind of reminds me of reclamation projects here in good old Southern California. Incidentally, we had the sharp jolt of a 4.4 on-the-Richter-scale earthquake early this morning at 4:04 AM. Knocked several things to the floor but that was about it. Difficult to fall back to sleep after that.
This is so wonderful. Its amazing to me how similar the landscape is there to what I know here. Or at least similar to what I know. The marshes are a big part of my life.
What a wonderful place! I would love to know more about it, too. "Desert Marsh" seems oxymoronic to me, but hey ... what do I know? Obviously there's at least one. :P Fascinating!
Another wonderful capture! I really love this shot. With the images you share with us, I feel as though I've been able to go along. Thanks for sharing. Great job!
most lovable landscape
