camelthorn trees

Backed by soaring dunes glowing with sunrise light, these skeleton camelthorn trees in Namibia are monuments to a time of abundance when a river flowed through them. This is one of more than 60 images that will be displayed in “Into Africa,” an exhibition at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History featuring the works of one of National Geographic’s most prolific and visionary nature photographers, Frans Lanting.
