Hi,Marlene,
A very interesting shot introducing to a world so different from Europe.
Oddly enough,it reminds of some biblical scenes.
A nice dynamic scene of daily life bustle on this commercial street.
It's too hot;no wonder most of the locals wear white.

Hi Marlene,
Nice shot it tells the story as here I see the leamb meat shop and water maloon shop, people are in stress mood but now this may be changed.
TFS.

Hi Marlene,
I like the picture and the beautiful city of Ghardaia.
You were lucky to visit this ancient city with its customs and hidden beauties.
34 years, it seems as if it was yesterday
Take care
