Accomplished trip
The handbuilt table football games that are found across Mali. I was given a thorough beating by this lot!
Our Tuareg guide gets a lift back to his camp as the sun set over the Sahara.
On the edge of the Sahara outside Timbuktu.
One of the minarets of Sankore Mosque in the midday heat
The main minaret of the mosque, with not so authentic loudspeakers attached.
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..."
Sankore mosque and tuareg
Going to the mosque in the last village before Timbuktu...Sounds like... far...I like the capacity of photography to freeze fleeting situations in time & space .Time,now,is not that important but space...an small village close to Timbuktu seems like quite more the end of the world than Timbuktu itself...doesn´t it?
