Kolmanskop was once full of life. The former diamond mining town, located in the Namib desert in the south of Namibia, was home to over 1,000 people.
They had a ballroom, a hospital, and a bowling alley among other amenities, but by 1954, it was completely abandoned.
Australian photographer Emma McEvoy visited what's left of the town in November 2015 and took stunning photos of the empty homes filled with sand in her series "Sandcastles."
