Pictured is part of the Adrere Amellal, an eco-lodge in the Siwa Oasis in Egypt, around 50 kilometers east of the Libyan border. The structures are made of a combination of kershef a mixture of rock salt and mud, stone masonry, and carved out dwellings from the large mountain that hosts the lodge. Oil lamps and candles are the only source of light and the construction of the buildings eliminates the need for air conditioning. A fire burns in the outdoor fire pit. On oil lamp on the ground and another elevated on the end of a wooden pole are burning also. Hand made wooden chairs surround a stone table. Night is approaching.
