Driving along the ephemeral Tsauchab River towards the salt and clay pan of Sossusvlei you will see a promenade of sand dunes entering the valley.

Image was not done at the usual and popular South Tufa area, but more or less at the opposite side of the lake, on the North shore. The access is not that easy. First you drive on an endless dirt road and than you walk about 30 minutes to finally end up in a swampy area where you try dodging the deep treacherous spots, more or less not very successfully, to not end up knee deep in the salty foul smelling mud.

Despite the increasing adversities encountered getting to White Pocket at Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness I keep going back to this magical place.
Increasing adversities were two cars, which never should attempted getting there and obviously got stuck in the deep sand. An overwhelming amount of people and tents brought in by local guide companies and their guides behaving like this is THEIR place. One of these guides had the nerve to harass me as I was there with two friends of mine, new to White Pocket, and I was showing them around. She thought she could scare me that BLM rangers will penalize me for taking friends to the White Pocket and ‘guiding’ them around. Last but not least, a helicopter showed up in the late afternoon to rescue one of the many people roaming around and who injured herself to the point that she was not able to get back to the car and drive to the closest health care center.
The secret is trying to blend all this out, knowing exactly what you want to shoot and just wait until everybody is gone and use the low light.

Sossusvlei is famous for its adjacent Deadvlei. Thousands of images are to be seen of this place. At my umpteen visit to Sossusvlei I imposed a restriction on myself. Not to go to Deadvlei! I got out of the car and went the opposite direction with an exercise in mind: abstract and intimate images in the sand dunes of Sossusvlei. This was the last image shot on that morning.

A place which had its beauty to be visited back when it was not run over by hordes that do not know how to drive in deep sand and do not know how to behave out there in the wilderness. Now it is still wild country, but with wild people. The secret of visiting the place is to focus on the wilderness and try to forget everything else.
