This looks like a painting, but it is a photograph. Photographer Frans Lanting took this picture of camel thorn trees in Namib-Naukluft Park in Namibia. The orange is a sand dune rising in the background. It was chosen as the photo of the day for today, but it is also a part of the National Geographic feature story Namibia's Coastal Parks, about how a newly-independent nation set aside large tracts of land to be protected for posterity.

Pretty crazy. I thought it was just a crappy painting. But as a real photograph, that's pretty cool!
