- This true-color Terra MODIS image features dust plumes, a great salt lakebed, and the Namib Desert. A number of dust plumes stream off of the coast of Namibia over the southern Atlantic Ocean, and a white plume of dust billows westward from the Etosha Pan (top). Stretching up to 150 kilometers (about 93 miles) in length, the plumes indicate the strength of the wind currents moving across Namibia and southern Africa.
You have forgotten God your Savior;
you have not remembered the Rock, your fortress.
Therefore, though you set out the finest plants
and plant imported vines,
