Weekly photo challenge: Achievement

Weekly photo challenge: Achievement
November 16, 2014 by andreaonderweg

So many steps. So many I can’t remember how much. My brain is dead, my body broken, but I made it to the top in time. Dune 45 in Namibia is a challenge. Sure, it’s nice to see the sunrise at stupid o’clock, but to walk up a dune? At every step you sink back down just a little. It’s just enough to make you wonder why? Why am I doing this? I reached the top and could barely smile, but after a while the feeling of achievement arrives and you can enjoy the reward of the sunrise.

Well done Andrea. I’ve recently returned from Namibia where I saw Dune 45 but didn’t attempt the climb. I loved Sossusvlei – amazingly photogenic – needless to say I was concentrating on the photography while on my safari there but certainly appreciate the effort in climbing the dunes.

Thanks Rob. I loved Namibia. Can’t blame you for focussing on the photos. It’s just incredible!
