This photo was taken in the Southeast of Algeria in the Hoggar mountains, in February 1980. The area is famous for its biodiversity, unique in the Sahara desert, and for the fact that Père de Foucauld lived there in 1905. The ruins of his buildings can be see in the photo at the bottom right hand side. Père de Foucauld was a French priest who lived among the Tuareg, and fought to preserve their culture and their way of life. This is a very beautiful and remote site, and I wish I had spent more time taking photos when I was there.
