Rainbow over Immidir – Algeria.
In the Immidir massif, south of the Algerian Hoggar, desert landscapes occasionally reveal unexpected and spectacular scenes.
Here, a partial rainbow pierces a heavy sky, even though no rain is visible on the ground. This phenomenon, caused by the diffraction of light through suspended micro-droplets, stands in stark contrast to the surrounding aridity. The rugged terrain takes on a copper hue under the low evening light, creating an ephemeral tableau where the harshness of geology meets the softness of the atmosphere. A rare encounter between two worlds that only the Sahara can offer to those who know how to watch.
