Standing on a nearby dune she cut a lonely figure, it was the last of the three mornings at Erg Chebbi and although we were covered by blue sky I could feel the makings of a possible blow, [sand storm which can blot out daylight in an instant] in the air. Staring into the endless seas...

At first it was just a spec on the distant dunes, a little later you were able to make the outline of riders on a long camel train led by two blue men, Tuareg's, desert nomads, on foot.
