Done in a place some hours by camel away from Timbuktu.I went to the desert to take pictures of strong sunlight and golden sunsets over the dunes,and got there the day in wich for the first time in two years the sky got dark,full of clouds of promissed water...The tuareg,my host those days,sat there to look long at the clouds.I thought he would be whishing-as any nomad would- "Let it come down..."
