Express Stress. High Atlas Pass, February 22, 1995.

Express Stress. High Atlas Pass, February 22, 1995.
On the way to Ouarzazate from Marrakesh. Bus got stuck in the snow for several hours, which for me was a terrifying relief, terrifying because what woman wants to be stuck on an isolated mountain pass with a bus full of super aggressive, hostile men; a relief because of a break from the death defying hairpin turns at breakneck speed on snowy mountain roads. Needless to say, did not offer to help push the bus, but snapped this shot instead.
Note the traditional brown Berber cloak http://www.johntyman.com/sahara/s296.jpg. It was here that I learned where George Lucas must have gotten his inspiration for the Jawas http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100915195128/starwars/images/7/79/Jawa_SWSB.png in Star Wars
