Gecko Cleaning Lens - Photo and Comment by Isak Pretorius
On a recent trip to Swakopmund I was lucky to find a Web-footed Gecko on the dunes in the morning mist. They are nocturnal and I knew I didn’t have much time before the sun would force the gecko underground, so I had to be quick. I slowly approached the gecko with my macro lens, he licked the moisture off his eyes and then dug his way into the protection of the sand.

“Looks closer, and you may be able to make it out, that yes, this is a photograph, not a painting. As National Geographic remarks of the photograph taken in Namibia, “Tinted orange by the morning sun, a soaring dune is the backdrop for the hulks of camel thorn trees in Namib-Naukluft Park.”
If this isn’t one of the most beautiful natural settings you will ever see, we don’t know what is.”

Eduard Bohlen shipwreck, Namibia
The Eduard Bohlen was a ship that ran aground off the coast of Namibia’s Skeleton Coast on September 5, 1909, in a thick fog. Currently the wreck lies in the sand a distance from the shoreline.
The ship was a 2,272 gross ton cargo ship with a length of 310 feet. In September 1909, it ran aground in thick fog and wrecked at Conception Bay while on a voyage from Swakopmund to Table Bay. This wreck is said to personify the loneliness of Namibia’s coast best. Its remains lie rusting in the sand, partially buried.
