Their home is the tent in the background.Men approach a tent cautiously because they know that most likely only women are in camp. Men are with the camels or other livestock. Although the women keep their face covered, they will prepare tea for any guests. The men sit in the men's part of the tent and the woman will stay at a distance.Berber men who have come to attend a desert wedding take time to pray.Ripples in the sand caused by the blowing wind.Sand and sky...but often there are huge aquifers underneath.Looking at Algeria which is the mountain range on the horizonSheep huddle together before a stormA group of Berber women in search of water.Climbers on the edge of the dune are dwarfed by its huge size.Men from a village near the dunes of Erg Chebbi take an evening stroll.An oasis on the road from Agdz to Zagora.Sunset on the cliffs of Algeria.Camel tracks heading east.Dunes in evening light.Khettara form a line in front of these dunes.
