If you haven't read my interview with Flickr, then go ahead and do that right now!

 

This is the amazing town of Kolmanskop in the Namib desert in southern Namibia. It was a successful diamond mining town from 1908 right up until 1954. It not only had the first x-ray-station in the southern hemisphere, but also the first tram in Africa. When the diamond supply eventually ran out, the Germans abandoned it and the sands moved in to reclaim the land.
