This Photo Friday was submitted by Rhonda & Jim Delameter, whose career break in 2007-08 took them through 19 countries, including Namibia where this photo was taken.

“We had a year of superlatives…birthdays on the Great Barrier Reef and floating the Nile. Thanksgiving on the beach in Bali. Christmas with tens of thousands of Vietnamese dressed as Santa in Hanoi. New Years Eve on the shore of the Mekong and Valentines day watching the sunrise at the Taj Mahal. The highlight was getting up long before dawn to hike the worlds highest sand dunes in Namibia on our 18th anniversary to watch the sun come up over Africa.”

We will be sharing more about Rhonda & Jim’s career break (and future plans) in the coming weeks, but couldn’t wait to share this awe-inspiring photo.
