Nomad tent, Morocco

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted July 13, 20042,800 views7 comments

When I did a camel trip in the southern desert of Morocco, we spent the night in this nomad tent. During a storm that night, the sand just blew straight through the canvas cloth, and I woke up with sand dunes that had formed against my sleeping bag. When I stepped out of the tent and saw the sky, I took this shot.

Marsel, I love the look and feel of this photo...almost ethereal in effect. Excellent work!

Marsel:

Cool story to go with this really wonderful photo. That sky is brooding, ominous and ethereal, all at the same time. I think a little extra room between the tent and the left side of the frame would be nice, but that's a very minor nit.

Thanks for sharing!

Awesome sky, no wonder you took this picture, and thank you for sharing it. I simply just love that heaven with those clouds on. Wonderful colors, and a great composition.

Regards,
Hanne

Great shot Marsel. I think that you posted it a while back (here or in the TPN forum). I like it just as much this time as I did that time. Nothing that I would change here.
