While bathing in the forest, I came across this little lonely tree. It reminded me of the story, THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD. All of the other trees were tall and reaching towards the sky. This little guy was concentrating on developing his branches and lots of fir greenery. It was almost bespoke of being the prettiest tree in the forest.

How I would love to spend a night in this place: as relentlessly as the sun burns down on us during the day, the starry sky at night is so wonderfully clear and bright in this Namibian place. As an ordinary tourist, you have no chance of being allowed to stay in this part of Sossusvlei before sunrise or after sunset. You arrive in groups after sunrise, in large jeeps through the gates of the national park. After arriving at the Deadvlei dunes at around 9 o'clock, only a few slopes are still in the shade for a short time. These moments are precious and last only a short time.

I wonder who else feels this way. I wonder what Zodiac Signs love the Sunshine. Want to find out? Let’s do a little research.
