Description
In the late 90s made this photograph while working at an oil field in Algeria called Rhourde El Baguel. It's located in the northeast portion of the Sahara Desert. Due to potential danger from radical fundamentalists in the country we were discouraged from wandering away from the secure perimeter of the oil field. But the nearby sand dunes were too interesting to pass up. A group of us went out and promptly got our vehicle stuck in the sand, but not before we hiked up one of the massive star dunes and I found this scene.
Security at the oil field was provided by national military personnel, which was a mixed blessing. We could sense that they did not want us here. This combined with an apparent ineptitude with their weapons (numerous ADs - Accidental Discharge) made us a little uncomfortable at times.
