[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
From the splendor of the high citadel of Ksar Jouma which overlooks the entire region ,follow the rocky trails down to the arid, sun baked region of Matmata where craters dug into the ground provided another type of shelter from invaders.

These troglodyte "homes" consist of a courtyard, 5 to 10 meters deep from which a labyrinth of small rooms for sleeping, grain storage and family gatherings are cut into the soft rock and interconnected by narrow passageways. Access is through a sloping tunnel or by a ladder which could be removed in time of danger.

Thats a very evocative and beautifully crafted portrait of this graceful lady. The lights have been used very well and the whole ambiance is magical. Good work my friend Frank. Congratulations!

Hi Frank, this is wonderful composition. I loved the portrait of this lady which looks verey serene. The light on the face of the woman looks wonderful.
