In November and December I traveled in Namibia for a photo project I'm working on, and to make final arrangements for the photo trip I'm leading there in May this year.
One of the places we'll visit is an old and deserted diamond mining town near the Namibian coast. The dunes are slowly claiming back their territory, covering this little town with sand. The result is a very surreal and eery place, but stunningly beautiful.
