Berber and camel, Erg Chebbi, Sahara Desert

Erg Chebbi, Sahara Desert

This was taken in the Moroccan Sahara, in Erg Chebbi, the morning after the Camel Shadows photo. I got up at dawn, around 0600, and the desert was pretty cold. My aim was to climb up this massive dune near our camp but after getting up about three quareters of the way up it was too steep and I kept slipping down. The dawn was OK (clouds came in of course) but before the light got too intense I saw this man and camel walking in the distance to the south, an excellent reference to the scale of the dunes.
