The ruins of an old French Foreign Legion fort, dating back to the French protectorate in Morocco (1912) can still be seen in the Sahara Desert. A lonely pair of Acacia trees has incongruously taken root next to it. The textures of the desert draw the eye towards the trees, the focal point of the image. The wall of the old fort points to the trees as well. The explosion of their branches is echoed by the pattern of clouds behind them.
