Little Hajer

Zaghouna sidi ali azzouz

Hajer, was sining an unknown melody when boys have prohited her from playing with them, the little ornage was like daning in front of the inside door of Sidi Ali Azzou, when asked, she told me that that Saint dead man is her ancestor.

N.B: I'm still learning how to use my new DSLR Olympus E-500, so the shots are still experimental.
