Consolationis Philosophiae

"Nothing is miserable unless you think it so;
conversely,
every lot is happy if you are content with it."

- Ancius Manlius Severinus Boethius
Consolationis Philosophiae



This photograph was taken on a very windy day in the dune belt between Walvis Bay and Swakopmund, Namibia.  A curious and unusual scene in that a leaking pipeline caused a wild green patch of bamboo to shoot up in a normally desolate area with little vegetation.  In front, you can see white deposits of salt crystals and in the back, the magnificent dunes of the Namib.
