Kolmanskop

The blog Oddee has a feature (with lots of great pictures) on the ten most amazing ghost towns in the world. I have only been to one of these, but it is the one ranked at the top of the list, Kolmanskop in Namibia. It is every bit as spectacular as the pictures indicate, as is the entire Skeleton Coast of Namibia.

Hat tip to Patrick Appel, one of Andrew Sullivan's pinch hitters while the doyen of blogging is taking a break.
