OF THE COUNTRIES I'VE VISITED IN AFRICA, NONE OTHER CONJURES SUCH VIVID EMOTIONS OF FREEDOM AND STUNNING DESOLATION AS NAMIBIA.

NAMIBIA HAS TAKEN MY BREATH AWAY MORE THAN ONCE. FROM THE AIR, WITH THE EARLY MORNING LIGHT PAINTING LONG SHADOWS ACROSS THE ROLLING RED DESERT, I'VE FELT A SPIRITUAL FORCE COME OVER ME.

ROLLING MY WINGS LEFT THEN RIGHT, HUGGING THE SOFT LINES OF SAND ONLY A FEW FEET BELOW, I'VE NEVER FELT MORE FREE.
