DH 416 / MA-El Aioun

Having managed to photograph the first Al Atlas of the day near Oujda, close to El Aioun, we had two hours to kill. We supported the local economy by doing some shopping at a general store. We then wanted to eat the food we’d bought in the shade of some trees, but shortly after we arrived, we were disturbed by the village idiot. We told him straight away that, as a rowdy troublemaker, he couldn’t expect any money from us. We did, however, offer him a few snacks, which he refused to accept. We’d had enough of his shouting after a few minutes and left the shady spot, heading towards the town centre. After a short stroll around town, we set our sights on the spot for the last Al Atlas of the day in daylight. The sun had already sunk quite low and the shadows were long when we managed to photograph DH 416 as it pulled into El Aioun station.
