EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of an old colonial house in Kolmanskop, a diamond ghost town nestled near Luderitz, Namibia. The image showcases the mesmerizing contrast between the vibrant orange sand dunes and the decaying remnants of a bygone era. The vertical composition allows us to fully appreciate the grandeur of this architectural relic against the vast desert landscape. With no one in sight, we are left to contemplate the stories that once echoed within these walls. Kolmanskop's rich history dates back to the 19th century when it flourished as a bustling diamond mining town. Now abandoned and derelict, it stands as a poignant reminder of its former glory. This photograph invites us to step into its past and explore its cultural heritage. Through Michael Runkel's lens, every detail is meticulously captured - from the sandy floors that have reclaimed their territory to the weathered window frames that frame nature's artwork outside. It is as if time has stood still within these walls, frozen in decay yet exuding an undeniable charm. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported on a visual journey through time and space – immersing ourselves in both history and natural beauty. It serves as a testament to mankind's ability to create lasting structures while also reminding us of our impermanence against nature's relentless forces. This stunning photograph by Michael Runkel/robertharding truly encapsulates Kolmanskop’s allure; inviting viewers from
