One of a number of predatory water sellers that inhabit the Place de Djemaa el Fna – the main square in Marrakech, Morocco. As in so many Moroccan experiences, dealing with these guys requires a lot of patience and a good sense of humor.

Magnificent sand dune – Sahara Desert, Morocco / This was taken at first light. The fresh sand dunes with no human foot prints, just the tracks of the native animals that have been wandering during the night. We were lucky to be able to camp in a part of the Sahara where there where no other tourists. / I don’t think i have been anywhere else as quite as in the middle of the desert first thing in the morning where all I could hear was the ringing in my ears.
As the sun goes down over Marrakech, the Medina walls turn a beautiful reddish tinge. As you walk past the walls at sunset, even in winter, the walls radiate heat collected during the day. This image reminds me of feeling the cool evening breeze on one side and the warmth of the wall on the other as I walked past this wall. Essauira, Morocco (December 2007)

I was camping by this oasis in the Moroccan Sahara desert when the sunlight started reflecting off the water and turned the shadows on the sand dunes an incredible blue. The effect faded in slowely and then back to normal again over a ten minute period. I sprinted around with my camera and tripod like a madman and managed to capture 20 or so shots. My Berber guide told me that I was very lucky since he had only seen this happen 2 or 3 times in his life!
The simplicity of the way of life in this sub-Atlas village was humbling. As the host pulled out a delicious home made pita brad out of the wood-fired oven, I felt guilty for possessing something as valuable and un-necessary as an SLR camera. Atlas mountains, Morocco (December 2007)

Sunrise over Fes, Morocco. Adhan (Athaan) is the Islamic call to prayer, recited by the muezzin. The root of the word is ʼḏn “to permit”, and another derivative of this word is uḏun, meaning “ear.” This is the minaret of Kairouyine mosque in Fes. The university which is attached, was founded in 859AD and ‘is considered the oldest continuously operating institution of higher learning in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records.’ (Care of Wikipedia) / Adhan I
I took this in Morocco a couple of years ago and was particularly struck by the effect of the tracks in the sand. It was also approaching sunset causing the long shadows.
