[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On a journey through Sahara in December 1981, I passed through the town of Tamanrasset, the last major settlement before a long distance of roadless desert to the border with Niger and further. In Tamanrasset I entered the huge area dominated by the Tuaregs, an ethnic group perfectly adapted to a life in the desert. Here are two Tuareg men in Tamanrasset wearing their characteristic dark blue turbans.
Scanned from a Kodachrome slide.

Hej Gert,
The colours are in a very fine harmony in this picture. I like the blue clothes together with the blue details on the door and, of course, all the orange here.
A very good capture, well seen.

Gert: but even the concealed amusement isn't lost in this image. Fine portraits. c

Hi Gert,
a great contrast (orange and blue) and two attracting points of interest. Good quality also for a scan !
Cheers Christian

Bonjour Gert
Les couleurs sont chaudes, les attitudes très dignes avec ces têtes enturbanéées.
Bravo
Georges

Hello Gert
We passed through Tamanrasset 7 years before you - and it is an experience i will never forget.
A nice composition of the blue turbaned Tuaregs with their piercing eyes in front of the orange wall. TFS, Marlene
