[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Following my last post about Mauritania.... although life is hard in the desert, you may have happy and relaxing moments. We went to Chinguetti at the occasion of one big event in the village, the donkey and camels races. Watching the camels race was already something, but watching with all the village present, was something else . The kids were running, the women were singing and the men were supporting any of their friends conducting an animal. We were here, sharing these moments of joy and peace with all these families and we exchanged simple but true words. This was definitively another view of Chingetti turned in direction of the future instead of the past.

salut Gé,
comme j'adore les personnages de dos,j'aime cette photo.

Joli ! Dommage que leurs dos soient si sombres mais il devait être difficile de faire autrement, parce que j'aime vraiment beaucoup l'arrière plan et cette chevauchée de camélidés...
Félicitations...

Bien que ne pouvant pas faire de pari sur les courses, les mauritaniens apprécient tout particulièrement ce genre de manifestation. On ressent l'anxiété de deux personnages au passage du troupeau. Quelle ambiance ...
J'apprécie cette composition avec ce premier plan formé par les deux personnages et un arrière plan plus flou.
Bravo
