GHOST RIVER | NAMIB IN FLOOD

The main flow of the Tsuachab river is on the northern side of the valley (below the dunes in the distance), but every few decades, there is enough water to push into a side branch that runs along the southern dunes. This event is so rare, that even most of the Sossusvlei veterans don't know about it or ever get to see it. Walking to the base of dune forty-two, east of dune forty-five, I was shocked to find a river flowing 10m wide and about half a meter deep. Unfortunately, it seems to have been just a few years too late to be the salvation of this dead tree.

Is shipping included in the price?

5

What about VAT or duties for international orders?

Prices listed are not subject to VAT, as the gallery is not a registered VAT vendor. If you are ordering from outside South Africa, duties and taxes may be applied by your country’s customs authority. The courier company typically handles these and is payable on or prior to delivery.

Can I return my order if I’m not happy?

Absolutely. If you’re not entirely satisfied with your artwork, you may return it for a full refund within five days of delivery. Please contact us first before sending anything back so that we can make the necessary arrangements.

Does the artwork come framed?

Unless otherwise stated, our prices are for unframed prints. However, we do offer a professional framing service through our in-house workshop. Simply place your print order, and then contact us to arrange framing. You can view our framing styles at osnerframing.co.za. We specialise in modern, simple frames using black, white, and natural woods (light or dark) in several modern profiles.

Is your framing museum quality?

Yes. All of our framing is done using conservation-grade, acid-free materials to ensure long-term protection. For local deliveries, we use glass. For international deliveries, we use high-quality plexiglass to prevent damage during transit. We also frame canvas and aluminium prints without glass.

What is the quality of your prints?

We use only archival-quality pigment inks on fine art cotton papers, ensuring exceptional colour stability and longevity. Our prints are tested to last over 130 years before noticeable fading occurs.
