Majestic and Magnificent, Beautiful Curves — Aerial Photography of the 'Desert Symphony'

Namibia is home to the world's oldest desert, where a glance spans 'a thousand years' or 'ten thousand years'; here, a single look takes you back eighty million years, and I want to take another look. After seeing the rare red sand dunes and the unique 'Sandwich Harbour', the wonders of the Earth are in Namibia. Spend another $250 to take a small plane for a low-altitude overview of the stunning Namib Desert, and I want to take another look. This is indeed a unique travel experience! A six-person small plane, including the pilot, wanders in the air for an hour. Over the vast desert of Namibia and along the Atlantic coast, it seems that only five tourists are above the entire Sandwich Harbour, as if we have 'chartered' this beautiful scenery. Beneath us, the dry desert coexists with the surging sea in the same frame, a rare sight on Earth, yet it exists in the Namib Desert like a dream, but it's real. Looking down at 'Sandwich Harbour' from the air, half sand and half sea, where the desert meets the ocean, the golden yellow and azure blue are distinct, with snow-white waves leaping in between, 'half sea water, half flame', and it seems like a 'Desert Symphony' is playing by my ears. This is the ultimate pleasure for both vision and hearing, with the peak of musical works playing like tidal notes, surging like the sound of the sea below, as if splashing a spray of musical notes. The notes of the symphony are like brilliant brushes splashing across the land, sketching out a grand and pleasant musical scroll. Sand, mountains, sea, waves, like various instruments in a symphony orchestra, resonate harmoniously, creating a rich and colorful sound effect, as if a colorful musical world unfolds before the audience, forming a series of moving musical paintings. Majestic, gentle spring rain, dazzling colors, lingering and poignant. The essence of drama lies in conflict, and so does the scenery, especially here: The dry desert and the surging coast confront each other, who can conquer whom? The rolling sand dunes spill into the vast Atlantic Ocean along the coastline, the desert and the sea resist and challenge each other, and neither can swallow the other. Look at the sea, carrying the cold from Antarctica, attempting to crash into the dry and scorching land; look at the mountains, all made of fine sand, unable to retain the rain's affection, rejecting the change of time, proudly becoming a golden surface. This flowing sea, sky, and land, resist and separate from each other, yet are intrinsically united. As dusk approaches, with the change of daylight hours, the desert also changes its color, a moving red sea of sand, transforming into a dazzling golden world. Below, there appeared spots of white and black, which turned out to be flamingos and seals⓲⓳⓯! 'You look at her once And you think about her for a lifetime; You look at her once And you will never forget for a lifetime!' Tips: ❹Flying in the sky, the interaction between tourists and the pilot can be seen by pulling out the phone on the upper right; ❺There is a stranded bulk carrier on the shore, ⓮a car is speeding in the lower left, ❽a protruding mirror under the right wing and the desert beneath the wing.
