"Vignettes From Morocco"
The colors of the Sahara are sublime at sunset and sunrise...
I've finally finished editing several thousand photos from my trip earlier this year to Morocco. Here is a short selection of a few of my favorite slices of Moroccan culture and landscape. Although Morocco was one of the tougher trips Mama Chihuahua and I have had in the past several years of our travels, I will say that working on these photos has helped me redevelop my appreciation for the textures and sensations of all the things which I did enjoy about this part of North Africa...the tang of spices, the amber cast of the Sahara at sunset, the sinful creaminess of homemade pistacchio ice cream, and the chaos of the Djemaa El Fna at dusk.
"A civilization rich in types and models unchanged for centuries, ... But that it has survived until our own times, that we can see it, we can touch it, we can mix with its people, is a miracle that never ceases to astonish."
Andre Chevrillon, Marrakech dans le palmes, Paris, 1920.

This was an incredibly majestic and surprising set of Roman Ruins in the North of Morocco at a World Heritage Site...gorgeous in the late afternoon light-
The salads in Maghreb are surprisingly refreshing....
