PHOTOS: WELWITCHIA MIRABILIS

finally, some photographs!

i'm happy to be able to share some digital images with you while my 70 rolls of film are being processed.

here are a couple welwitchia mirabilis in the namib desert. they're native only to parts of namibia and angola, and like the baobabs, they are thought to be in the ballpark of 2,000 years old. there may be some older ones in another part of namibia. visit my previous welwitchia posting for the full story.

the big welwitchia on the namib naukluft self-drive route.



the just as big if not bigger welwitchia, (um...not an official name) also in the park, but not marked on maps.
