Mirabib submitted by KaiHofmann : Site in Namibia Mirabib Inselberg (Vote or comment on this photo)
Natural Stone in Namibia. The Mirabib Rock is an "Inselberg" in the namib desert. It rises in the middle of a desert plane. There have been some ancient shelters of the busmen found.

Stanley Kubrick filmed here part 1, "the dawn of mankind" of the movie "2001- A Space Odyssey".
It´s an awesome place in the middle of nowhere.
