The Door of The Desert
written by riki_87 on July 13th, 2009 , 8 comments (6 votes)

One month ago i went to Ouarzazate (Morocco) and its the capital of Souss-Massa-Draâ in the southern-central Morocco.
The town is chiefly inhabited by Berbers, who constructed many of the prominent kasbahs and building for which the area is known for. The town and surrounding area is also a noted film-making location, with Morocco’s biggest studios inviting many international film companies to shoot their films. Films such as Star Wars, The Last Temptation of Christ , The Mummy or Gladiator were shot in the Ouarazate area.

I go there with a lomography RedScale, for increase those red tones of the desert and a Velvia for the saturation of the colors.
