Camel herders with part of their long camel-train |
Long rows of block houses and shops lining the main road |

We turned off the road near this modern water tower to find a small auberge .. a handy halfway stop for a
snack, some cool drinks or a coffee. On our outward journey we were served by very pleasant staff .. after some delay .. with new cups, saucers, glasses and cutlery on a new silver tray, most still had their price
labels underneath. On our return visit, the new box of sugar lumps had no more missing from it than those we had taken on out first visit. Business must not be exactly brisk and the former delay was probably caused by
them scurrying off to buy the items needed !! |

One of the few waterways to be found .. supplying these healthy-looking cattle with better than
normal grazing |

This truck had been reversed into a man-made ramp of sand for ease of loading the herd of sheep |

Beautifully subtle colours in the early evening light |

Lengthening shadows as the sun sinks into the West |
Back to the mayhem of Nouakchott's evening rush hour |
