The Waltz of Time, Imidir Mountains.
Under the celestial canopy of Imidir, time seems to stretch into infinity, where the silence of the Sahara becomes almost palpable.
Taken in 2023 in Southern Algeria, this photograph captures the Earth’s rotation through a spectacular star trail. By pointing the lens toward the North Star, the circular motion of the heavens echoes the sinuous curves of the sand dunes. In the foreground, dark rock formations anchor the scene in the ancient stillness of the desert. Between the purple hues of twilight and the deep ochre of the sand, this image bears witness to the absolute purity of Saharan nights, where light pollution is non-existent.
