View of a narrow street in Jaisalmer

A young boy

Behind him blankets lie in the sand and a tuft of vegetation grows

wearing a dagger in a scabbard across his waist

leaning on a stick

for an assault on Sanaa during the Yemen Civil War

His ghutra hangs loosely around his head and down over his chest

In the far distance beyond vast rolling dunes spreads out below a far rocky mountain

and a large dagger in a scabbard across his waist

Beyond distant dune massifs with deeply ridged sides sit along the edge of the flat

while on the right one and two storey houses sit close together in the Shindagha district

On the right the curved crests of two nearer dunes rise up above the lower sands surrounding them
