Kolmanskop

These photographs are from an incredible and highly inspiring place; the well known Ghost town of Kolmanskop, an abandoned mining town in the Namib Desert near Luderitz in Namibia. The desolate town has been taken over by the desert. The dilapidated buildings engulfed in sand create an environment that simply is hard to believe is real.

During a recent trip to the awe-inspiring Ghost Town of Kolmanskop we had the most unbelievable sunset. Unfortunately it was all happening behind the koppie, which meant I had to get on top! A gamble, but I decided it might well be worth the effort and I ran up that koppie and reached just in time to capture this spectacle.
