Took this name from the book Dune. Frank Herbert referenced that the people of the desert represented the greatest force [in the area]. His point was that the tireless effort for freedom is a person's will.

Story:
Took this when I was in Herat, Afghanistan this summer. This man was selling Camel rides to soldiers for money. I took some photos and the soldier I was with got a ride, and gave the man a Euro for his time (1/3 of the average day's pay for a person in Herat).

These photos in this scene are some of my favorite I have taken.
