As our landscape photography workshop group was leaving Luderitz, Namibia, I noticed these railroad tracks disappearing into a sand dune, and yelled “stop!”—the image was just too full of irony to pass by. The railroad track clearing crew was about a kilometer away, using heavy equipment, which prompted our driver to say “they must be expecting a train today”.
