This picture, taken in the evening, strangely evokes - even in the uninitiated - a feeling of crushing desolation. Incidentally, a strange optical illusion, this Targui apparently splashing around in a pool. But we are here in the north of the Tassili, and the illusion simply stems from a difference in the density of the air in the area of contact with the ground overheated by the sun. - Algeria - 1969
