Growing up in Saudi Arabia, 44 - year - old photographer Jody MacDonald has always had a strong interest in the desert. “I have always wanted to spend some time in the Sahara,” MacDonald said. “There are still so many unexplored areas in the Sahara Desert. These relatively unexplored places are so rare these days that they interest me much, so finally I made the journey.” MacDonald started her journey in Mauritania's capital city Nouakchott, and headed inland where she and her team jumped on the world's longest cargo train for a 435 - mile journey on the Mauritania Railway. “The train was dirty and uncomfortable but it was such an interesting and special way to travel through the vast desert by train,” said MacDonald.
MacDonald and her group had to face many challenges on their journey. Besides the dirt and discomfort, the travellers also had to deal with the heat and winds. “I was out taking photographs and within minutes, the wind grew to more than 100 miles an hour,” MacDonald said. “I thought my skin was going to be torn off because of the rain and blowing sand. It felt like sandpaper on my skin. I have never experienced winds that strong before. There was once a time when I wanted to give up.”
She dealt with the harsh (恶劣的) conditions by trying not to travel in the middle of the day and wearing headscarves to protect herself from the sun and blowing sand. “The weather dictates when and where you travel,” said MacDonald. Even with all the challenges, the photographer managed to record amazing pictures of the beautiful but harsh views of Mauritania, and its fantastic cultures and communities.
1. Why did MacDonald tour the Sahara?
2. Where did MacDonald begin the journey?
3. What did MacDonald think about travelling through the desert by train?
4. How was the weather in the desert?
5. What do you learn from MacDonald's story?
