Luderitz is a town in southern Namibia on the west coast of Africa. It lies on one of the least hospitable coasts in Africa. The city is a port developed around Robert Harbour and Shark Island. Luderitz is known for its colonial architecture, including some Art Nouveau work and a strong German influence. The town is named after Adolf Lüderitz, founder of the German South West Africa colony.

Hanging out in front of the grocery. The kid walking towards us asked Ruth for a dollar to buy some bread. She, in turn, asked him where a shop that had been recommended was. He earned his dollar by taking her to the shop, introducing the owner, and finding me after I wandered off to take pictures.
