Photographer’s Note

Fort Saganne

After a cold and windy night
We start to climb
The stony track
- the old road to Chinguetti -
That lead to Amodjar pass.
And curve after curve
New sights open widely to the eyes
On a rocky plateau
Beaten by the winds.
There it lies alone
The ruins of Fort Saganne
Built to play the namesake film by Alain Corneau.
The loneliness, the wind, the silences
Give to this place a sense of a stunning wild beauty.

You can have a glimpse of the location of this fort if you click on the workshop.
