The weekly sheep market at Douze, at the gates of the Sahara Desert, offers visions of innocence. In this grouping, I found a lamb and a ewe seeking shelter under the horn of a ram. The body of another sheep lends its support to all. The image becomes even more poignant when we realize that these animals have no idea of the fate that soon awaits them. Our visit to the sheep market, like so many other places on our tour of Tunisia, coincided with the worst light of the day. To avoid harsh, ugly contrasts, I looked for subjects in the shade, such as this grouping.
