A black and white infrared photograph of the interior of one of the abandoned houses at the ghost mining town of Kolmanskop (Kolmanskuppe) near the town of Luderitz in Namibia. Kolmanskop is also well known by its German name of Kolmannskuppe. It is a ghost town in the Namib desert in Southern Namibia which is situated approximately 10 kilometres inland from the port town of Luderitz. Diamonds were found here in the early 1900s but the town declined after World War I when the diamond-field slowly exhausted and was ultimately abandoned in 1954
