Oasis

Chebika oasis, Tunisia

Legend is that Star Wars character Chewbacca owe its name to this oasis :) One of most beautiful in Tunisia!

Maybe this would look more atractive with ND filter and longer exposure... but, even with tripod and filters in the bag... I decide to go with this... natural and hand held version...
