How small one feels when confronted with the silent but inescapable forces of nature.Spooky place!
In the middle of one of the deserts of Namibia, in the south of the country, lies the town of Kolmanskop. Or rather, lied the town of Kolmanskop. Once erected when the diamond trade was booming and a town was needed for those who wanted to make a living of this trade, it was subsequently abandoned completely in 1956 when a slump in diamond sales occurred and subsequently more diamond deposits were discovered in the Orange River to the south.
