Kolmanskop in Morning Light

We returned to this abandoned town to photograph it in the early morning light. The rooms are connected with these doorways, and the light from each window allows us to see all the way back to the last room. Abandoned mining town from the early 1900s. By coincidence on my hotel shuttle van in CapeTown, I met a mother/daughter duo whose mother/grandmother had grown up here, and I heard so many fascinating stories that now personalize this experience for me.
This a work of art! Totally brilliant photo!

I love the lighting in this scene, and the way the sand has taken over. Great lines, beautiful story behind the image as well.

That is an amazing place to have visited judging by this image. The way the sand has just taken back over and half filled the rooms. Feels kind of poignant to look at somehow. You wonder what stories those old doorways could tell of who walked through them in years gone by.

What an incredible shot! It's so eerie, it could be an illustration for a novel about magical portals.

A wonderful capture! Awesome stuff - love the light, the doorways, the colour, and the piles of ever-encroaching sand.

Fabulous shot! And what a scene with al of that invading sand. It's very reminiscent of a small settlement on The Nullabor coastline.
