Desert Dusk
Posted on September 04, 2008 by Barak in Africa | 1 Comment
Spent an incredibly memorable night in a small rural town in northern Kenya called Torbi. Part of Marsabit district, the area is the traditional lands of several nomadic tribes, or pastoralists as they are technically referred to. The desert here is both harsh and beautiful and I caught a few shots of dusk. The dome in the photo is one of the houses which bares an uncanny resemblance to homes built by nomadic races in both central Asia as well as North America – cloth and skins draped over a wooden frame.

I just returned home last week from a trip to Northern Kenya. We actually spent a night at the Women’s Guest House in Torbi. What an amazing experience! It totally amazes me that people can survive up there with so little resources and such harsh conditions. I love your photo. I actually have one of my own quite simialr to yours.
