Two small work from sheet metal waste (coffee or mosquito protection, French origin), size 10 or 7 cm, collected and processed by desert residents, as children's toys Or Souvenir, acquired in my Sahara crossing in 1975. A desert, as large as the United States of America and the largest of all deserts (from the Atlantic to the banks of the Nile). The water shortage turned nomadic shepherds 5,000 years ago, for example the Tuareg. For me, the Sahara has magical attraction (dunes, mountains, oases, ethnic groups, ancient rock paintings, starry sky, fata Morgana/air reflections and, and, and). During the whole trip that ended in the Sahel zone (Niger), I had always written a diary. The quote from Confucius fits: "The real traveler is always a litterer, with joys, temptations and adventure lust".
