As we went deeper into the desert we came across a deep canyon and later majestic deep red Dunes, some 300 metres high.
The branch shown is off a "Thorn" tree.
Surprisingly Giraffes eat from these and manage to skilfully wrap their tongues around to remove the leaves without spiking themselves.
 
Also that is a real mirage...or is it a mirage?
