ALGERIA - SAHARA - CAR WRECKS

travelling in the sahara is often demanding, given that proper roads are rare or missing altogether (see section "routes & tracks" above).
numerous tracks are tough conditions for cars, and many "pass away" ... main reasons used to be accidents because of rough trails, and crashing engines or gear boxes. there are no repair shops in those areas; however, people usually dismount every piece which can be used elsewhere.
for a photographer it is a somewhat weird venture to take pictures from car wrecks - yet during several sahara voyages in the eighties and nineties of last century there were countless vistas of dead vehicles, or just doors or wheels or tires, often covered by sand - - so, here are some images!
