Michaela’s Favourite Photographs #11: First Light
Tafraout, Morocco, 2016. I have to admit that this one is more my favourite than Michaela’s: I love it not just for itself, but also for what it represents. Out on the edge of the desert, the nights were cold, our breath clearly visible in the crisp morning air as we took breakfast. Within a few short hours the temperature had rocketed and the days were so hot. As we rose early one morning and braced ourselves against the cold, the first light of the day crept down from the tops of the mountains, sunshine creeping down the slopes towards the town…

It’s amazing how the temperature can vary between day and night in a desert! In the photo you can almost see the heat coming 🙂.

Yes, and that exactly what it felt like…it took literally a few minutes to heat up once the sun came to town!

I always love that contrast between the chill of the night and heat of the day in a desert, and this photo captures that feeling very well 🙂
