Danse Macabre

I somehow cannot leave this image from a shoot in 2003 in the Namibian

Desert alone. With every revisit I have to try new post processing

techniques - all in an attempt to better express the strange experience in

this other worldly place in the Namibian Desert. These dead Camel thorn

trees with their anthropomorphic shapes evoke for me an upside down

dance of death. Absurd and comical, but also ominous.

I quite like that "Dance of death" analogy it  seems befitting and quite poignant.

I recently came across a lone dead tree standing on Rannoch Moor in Scotland and mentally entitled it "The Last Dance".

 But the setting was no where near as surreal and seemingly alien as this one. I can understand your fascination with it Bettie. I think it deserves all the attention you care to bestow upon it, I wish it were mine.

Sincere Compliments

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Alf. :-)

For me, it is very moving picture. Shows beauty of the unknown and alien macabre space. Strength can be found in darkness too.

P.S. Thanks for commenting on my exhibition picture.

Best wishes,
