45 km down the road from Sesriem (Namibia)to Sossuvlei, lies perhps the most photographed dune in the world - Dune 45. Most photographed due to it’s accessibility, right next to the well trodden tourist road. This dune stands over 170m high and is composed of 5 million years worth of sand accumulated by the Orange River. I got over my distaste for dune-climbing and headed up for sunrise.
Dune 45, it was a wee bit chilly.

Thankfully, the sunrise at the top was worth the wind, cold and climb
Love the ripples across the sand, little details are so precious.
Dune 45 – Windy
One of the greatest spectacles on Earth… sunrise.
It was cold, windy and a drag to climb… but oh my, what a beautiful place to watch the sunrise. The light danced across the desert and coated the landscape with such a warm and inviting red glow!
How good are sunrises?!?!
Though I think my favourite ever is still seeing the sunrise from the top of Kilimanjaro!
When was the last time or the best time you watched the sunrise?
