The desert dimension takes all its meaning with this photograph of dunes as far as the eye can see. The quest for water by his women who, all draped in colors, appear like flowers and the hope of life in the heart of these arid lands. 

The first time Hans Silvester went to India, it was not a complete success. Attacked by the misery, the overcrowded and grey cities, he swore he would never return. In the mid-1970s, he broke his promise and discovered the Thar Desert in Rajasthan. He went there about ten times in 3 years to better understand this modest people. It is thanks to his empathy, his patience and his emotional intelligence that he gained the trust of these "princesses of the desert" and was able to tame the light of this country.

Retour De Voyage has selected this photograph for their elegance in their tireless quest.
