Just a quick glance and you could be forgiven for thinking this striking image is a spectacular piece of artwork.

But take a minute to look a little closer and you will see it is in fact a photograph - capturing the eerie camel thorn trees in Namibia's Namib-Naukluft Park in an entirely new light.

Tinted orange by the morning sun, the soaring sand dune in the background gives the illusion of a painted sky.

The vibrant images are so stunning it is hard to believe they are real.
