Sahara Dune Shadows

“The Wall of the Cave”

As you might expect, a trip to the Sahara from Marrakech is a canned experience. After a day and a half journey crammed into a minibus with strangers, you arrive having made some friends in late afternoon. We rode camels into the desert and while everyone else was sandboarding, I got a some opportunities to take landscape photos with my tripod. As we stayed in the desert overnight, I also got up a couple of hours before anyone else and took some photos of the clear night sky. However, these “landscape” images didn’t come to much: it was hard to find areas of pristine sand to include as a foreground; footprints and quadbike tracks seemed to mar every shot. I took this image as we rode the camel train out of the desert for sunrise and despite my cynicism at “tourist experiences” sunrise it was atmospheric, and I think I captured some of that mood. I would like to come back to the desert for some focused photography time. I am tempted to hire a car myself and drive down from Fez and take day trips from the towns which surround this stretch of sand dunes.
