Free Desktop Pictures of Windhoek, Namibia

I have been taking photos of various things for quite a few years now and realized that I couldn't find any desktop pictures of Namibia. So I'm adding some of my own photos here to share with you of Windhoek, Namibia that can be used as desktop pictures.

This first set of pictures is of the very beautiful and unique Namibian sunsets. Among many other things, Namibia is known for having some of the most beautiful sunsets, mainly because of the dry air in the country caused by the heat.

Here are also some pics of Windhoek city. Some are Black & White Photography while others are bright colour, again showing the beautiful Namibian sunset.

And then for a bit of an abstract shot and a typical Namibian scene. The abstract one is a shot of some people walking down a street in Khomasdal at night, while the picture of the Ostrich was taken on the way to Heja Lodge.

I hope you enjoy these pictures of Windhoek, Namibia, some of them being not quite the usual stuff photographed in Windhoek, but certainly scenes one sees every day if you live in Windhoek.

Hope you enjoy.

Shishani - Windhoek: LYRICS
Grew up in a place that is famous for the sun
All year around
All years later, I'm surprised of all the rain
That's fallen down
It's so green out here, streams of water covering the streets
Now we've got drive around all the holes in the ground

If you still down know which town I'm singing about;
Well it's Windhoek

CHORUS
City where the sunlight awakes you
And nature just takes you
All around Windhoek
Where butterflies light up the sky
Like the stars do at night
All around Windhoek

When I walk in town I see people wonderin';
Where's she coming from?
With my pink necklacess I'm out and proud
I say I'm Oshiwambo
They don't believe me, think I'm crazy
I'm a tourist in this town
But I don't care, now matter where you're from
You feel where you belong

CHORUS

Whether you're
Nama/Damara, German, Afrikaner, San-Bushman or a Coloured one
Herero, Ovambo, Ovahimba from Kaoko
Tswana, Caprivian or Kavango
Angolan, American, Zimbabwean, South-African
Coming from Congo, Spain or the Netherlands
if you weren't listed in one of the above,
you don't have to worry just SPREAD LOVE
in Windhoek!!!

CHORUS

Windhoek-a 4x

How do I love my son, let me count the ways.

Each and everyday I'm amazed

how my love for my son grows

with each new milestone,

it seems my heart constantly overflows.

Those enchanting blue eyes

that turn grey when there's a storm

his passionate soul shines through

and my heart can't help but feel warm.

I can't believe I've been blessed

with an angel so beautiful and sweet

I never knew it could be so magical

to be a mother is such a treat.

My darling boy Danté

he is my greatest treasure

just to smell his sweet smell

brings me such immense pleasure.

When he falls asleep in my arms

and sighs little Danté sighs

Oh, it warms my heart so

it brings happy tears to my eyes.

Sometimes it seems

that my heart can't contain

all this love just for him

like a sugary, golden chain.

My sweet boy, my sweet love

I hope you will always know

that your Mommy loves you so much

more than any words could ever show

I wish for you love and joy

and that you know yourself well

that with everything you try

may you always excel.

May you always know grace

giving as much love as you receive

and when things may seem bleak

remember my son, in you, I believe.

*When my beautiful Danté was born by emergency caesarian after almost 24hours of labor, I only got to see him the next day. When the nurse finally handed him to me, I though "Wow, this baby is so beautiful, they must have made a mistake. This must be someone else's baby." But sure enough, that beautiful, perfect little boy was actually my son. When I realized that, the song "First time ever I saw your face" by Celine Dion played in my head, so now, when ever I hear that song, all I see is my beautiful boys face.
