05630SossusvleiSaereTraerIDeadVlei.JPG

For noen hundre år siden var det antagelig et frodig skogholt her, under en våt periode i Sossusvlei. Forråtnelsen går ikke akkurat fort i det klimaet der. I stedet blir stammene svartsvidde i solsteiken, kan det se ut til.

  A few hundred years ago this was probably a green grove, during a wet period in the Sossusvlei. Decomposition and decay does not happen at express speed in this climate. Instead the trunks are slowly burnt in the sun, it may seem.
