It's one from the archives today as I've been going through some old shots. This is a scanned photo that I just reprocessed. Not the best shot, but a very interesting place called Matmata in southern Tunisia. About 400 Berber families live underground in these traditional troglodyte dwellings. George Lucas found this somewhat surreal landscape the perfect backdrop for his Star Wars film which the community's quite proud of. (8.30.2011)

on August 31, 2011I think it's an awesome shot. I can feel the intense heat from the high exposure. The thumbnail grabbed my eye because it looks a lot like the adobe style of the American South West (primarily New Mexico and Arizona).

on August 31, 2011Looks like a place I've been to in Mexico. Very nicely caught in what must have been very harsh light
