The primary motive for going to Luderitz was to visit the nearby ghost town of Kolmanskop on a life-long photographic ambition. We had obtained a day pass entitling one to visit before dawn to get the sunrise lighting.

The photography proved challenging, as did the scene with a security guard who wanted to have me arrested for straying into a restricted area, but Brigi managed to pacify him so I could continue with my mission to try and get a few decent pictures.  I achieved the best results using fill-in flash to  balance the outside view of the dunes with the inside lighting.
