I visited the Moroc Sahara last year. I published some photos earlier.
but looking through the series there were several colorful shots I missed earlier.
Here go

#1 View from the Hotel


#2 through the gate


#3 things one uses there


#4 There are trees too


#5 people trying to reach the horizon


#6 camels of course


#7 There are trees and buildings


#8 and it's not all sand


#9 Not at all


#10 but mostly

Splendid Domien, I'm glad you took another look through the series. Especially 3, 5 and 6 are stunning.

Domien, thanks for posting these additional images of this spectacular desert.
They are all most interesting in their variation, but for me the archetypical scenes are #5 (looks too daunting to attempt to traverse by foot), #6 (picture postcard perfect) and #7 (the emptiness).
TFS.

Thank you Joe,
Walking up the sandy hill was very heavy. But you could admire the sunset (I was told)
We met a surprising number of people walking around there.

Very nice set of a place I will never get to see live. I especially like #2, a self-portait (!), for its framing and unusual compositions. Very imaginative.

Superb set, Domien. I am another admirerer of #7 in particular - which shows a wonderful light!

TFS!

Thanks for sharing these Domien, lovely images. As the light changes so does the desert and that's why nr 7 is slightly my favourite.

Thanks, Harald and Peter, Roger
It always pays off to rise early.
Roger, it was intentional but the selfie worked out better then expected.
