Personally, I just love how this looks- it would make a great framed piece.

Wow, gorgeous! I agree with you, Erica! it would make a great framed piece.

Okay, obviously a desert, but the question is which one and where. Sahara is a HUGE place, as are a lot of the other deserts. Okay, let me see if I can take a stab at it....

Okay, I'm pretty sure it's the Namib desert...

You got it! Namibia is the site of this desert. Since the country has been getting a bit of press lately, I thought I would throw it out for our consideration.

So how long did it take you to figure it out?

ETA Check out these photographs of the Namib desert - Beautiful!

Well, when someone mentioned the Sahara, I looked it up on an African map and didn't see anything that "looked right". So I looked at a full map of Africa to look at the other deserts and there was a feature there that looked like it might fit the bill. So I looked up Namib and found something some features that fit. This time it took me about 5 minutes. :)

Those photographs are GORGEOUS!

ETA: YAY!!! I actually got one. :)
