Moving Sands of the Sahara

On our Sahara expedition in Libya we primarily searched for rock arches and rock formations, but we soon discovered that the country has so much more to offer. There is no infrastructure in the Sahara, so with our 4x4's we basically just drove from place to place whenever we thought we saw something interesting through our binoculars. At some stage our Tuareg guide told us he knew of a ‘magical place’ that we should see with our own eyes. He didn’t want to say where we were going, because he wanted it to be a surprise. We were about to witness a wonder.

 

When we arrived at this magical place, it turned out to be an oasis. For someone who doesn’t live in the desert, it’s just a small pond with a few trees - nothing special. But for the Tuaregs who have been living there all their lives, it’s the most amazing thing ever.

 

I saw the place had potential for a nice photograph, but the problem in the Sahara is that there usually is quite a bit of wind - the water was rippled and the reeds were moving all over the place. So I decided to set up camp close to the oasis and try to shoot it early next morning, before sunrise. That turned out to be the right decision - I got some nice pastel colors and a great pre-glow, the water was like a mirror, and the grasses were motionless.

I worked there for a while . Just opened a box of old photos , some of them over 100 years old , and deciding what to do with them . This one was on top of the pile . And I was thinner and had no gray hair.
