Horse riders on the edge of the Sahara, Ouarzarzate, Morocco. Unfortunately I wasn't armed with the ideal camera for this, but given that a sandstorm was descending upon us, the convenience of the point and shoot was much appreciated, and able to capture the wind and dust adequately.

EDIT: Thank you to those of you who voted this picture as a noteworthy in the fantasy challenge at Lensday!

Very Larry of Arabia. If it wasn't for the guy standing off to the left it would have been very period.

This reminds me of The Black Stallion stories. It's both beautiful and wild. Wonderful!

Great shot! I thought it was a movie set, at first.

that first comment stole mine away...immediately thought of "Orrence!". shows how classic images linger, though.

i like the anomalous-clothing figure; makes this a better photo than a plain period shot, i think. more interesting.

I completely agree with what others have said so far, most especially that this looks like a movie set!

You are a brave person for bringing ANY camera out in this much sand. Bravo!

Looks like I've got to find my way to Morocco!
