I think I had the ghost town wrong in my comment on your latest post, it's Kolmanskop. We will do a trip to Nam sometime in next year and look you up, Graham. It will be super to meet you in beautiful Namibia.

You do have an eye for beauty. I just love all your photos. I live by the sea (much closer than you) and I hardly ever manage to get there to take photos anymore. If I did, it wouldn't be nearly as desolate as where you are. So glad you feel refreshed now.Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.com
