Interpretation

Namibia, the land of the sun, rich in animal life, multicultural as ever. Amply supplied with a variety of flora. Drought and dryness, the essence of your beauty. Your wild coastline with the neverending beach is the crown of your existence.

Many an observor has said "There's nothing here, I don't see anything." My answer is: "Open your eyes!"
