Photographer’s Note

Although the mountains surrounding Tataouine are known for their ancient Berber settlements, we were told by a local artist that this particular site was actually built and occupied by Bedouin tribesmen. The "ksar" is a fortified assemblage, spread around 2 large courtyards, of multi-storied, vaulted granery cellers caled "ghorfas". This one seems to be occupied, perhaps by one of the caretakers of the site.

Bonjour Serge,
Merci pour la visite et le commentaire.
J'apprécie aussi les paysages du sud tunisien ou les couleurs chaudes telles que les ocres dominent.
Un beau voyage et certainement de bons souvenirs.
Amicalement
Jean-Luc

Hello Serge,
Attractive soft colour tone for a well considered composition.
I am not sure if it was possible to have a little more of the FG on the right on which might appear more comfortable for the building to sit on.

Nice composition and colour harmony. These ksars make wonderful graphic images. But the
background looks very hazy again. You might want to run a 3% shadows dodge tool over it to make the shapes sharper. Just a suggestion :)
