Namibian dune

Which reminds me of two verses:

In Sparkill buried lies that man of mark
Who brought the Obelisk to Central Park,
Redoubtable Commander H.H. Gorringe,
Whose name supplies the rhyme for “orange.”

and this even shorter one:

The four eng-
ineers wore orange
brassieres.

Some other time we should blog the Namibian Diamond Coast where, according to National Geographic (October 2009)

"in the early 1900s an explorer named Ernst Reuning made a wager with a companion about the amount of time it would take to fill a tin cup with gems found loose in the sand. The job took all of ten minutes."
