Lookout for the mysterious Stonemen of Namibia under a breathtaking Milky Way sky. Silhouetted against the vibrant tapestry of stars, they stand as silent witnesses to the wonders of the cosmos. Littered next to the gravel off-roads of Kaokoland in the far reaches of North-West Namibia these men of stone invite the intrepid explorer and astrophotographer to locate them and image them against the dark skies. Certainly a bucket list destination which I hope to visit once again…
