Under the Sheltering Sky

The novel The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles details a desert—the Sahara in trans-Atlas Morocco—that is anything but comfortable and sheltering, at least to foreigners. It’s true the desert can seem forbidding, but out at night with the stars and a few companions, the sky indeed seems sheltering.

I made this image from the rear of the formation known as “Lady Boot Arch,” facing north, in the Alabama Hills of the Eastern Sierra in California.
