Old, dusty pictures of the Fish River canyon





The wait is finally over, lets get going!




Getting flipped off by the locals.




Roadhouses aren't only found on the East and West rand, Namibia is also a fan of the drive in delicacy.








The second biggest canyon in the world. Pictures don't do it justice.




Our constant companion for the five day hike along the river bed. 




Rest stops and bathroom breaks are the primary use of the sparse foliage in the canyon.




The sun was not our friend. Temperatures regularly exceeded 30 degrees, even though it was the middle of winter.






Setting up camp on the first night. To save weight I had decided not to bring a tent... 




Blue moon. Constant annoyance to the weary hiker trying to get a few hours sleep.









The canyon is 95km long and should take around 5 days to complete.











Didn't see the footprints in the sand until after I had taken this picture. But you aren't supposed to admit that.. I aimed to portray the desolation of the canyon through a series of deeply thought out visual layers.




'Yes, that is definitely Table mountain.' - Heard at every bend 









Day three. Significantly smelly to warrant setting up a washing line.




Excuse me while I kiss the sky. 
Is in no way a relevant caption for this image, but its a song that is stuck in my head.
















Ais-Ais, a perfect example of a monopoly justifying poor service and high prices. Telkom could learn from these guys!
