The Spitzkoppe is part of a group of mountains with volcanic origin. Erosion has given those mountains interesting rounded shapes.
The reddish granite looks phenomenal in sunset or sunrise light.

(🧶 2/…) The „Dawn Of The Man“ Sequence was shot after all the other scenes were wrapped. The establishing landscape shots were actually still photographs shot by a second unit at #Spitzkoppe, #Namibia. Because Kubrick had a phobia of flying in airplanes, despite having a pilot’s license, he directed the second unit on what to capture via the telephone…!
#Namibia is a stunning place. Did you know that theunique landscape of #Spitzkoppe was used as a backdrop in #StanleyKubrick‘s 2001: A #SpaceOdyssey? (🧶)
