Ephemeral Rivers


Namibia is mostly desert but does occasionally get enough rainfall to create rivers, which dry up and leave ephemeral river beds all around the landscape, with vegetation growing on the borders. From the small planes we used to travel from wilderness camp to wilderness camp, we could see the rivers from the aerial view (bottom photograph.)

The monotype entitled Ephemeral River (top) captures the colors and quality of the ghost-like rivers and the landscape of this part of Africa.
