Red Medina Wall

This photo was taken from a moving taxi as we headed back into the heart of old town Marrakesh. I like the slightly abstract, painterly quality to this picture very much.

Djemma Food Stall

This is what evenings in the Djemma El Fna are all about. At sundown, the stalls are all wheeled into the square, the cooks fire up the grills, the calamari, the prawns, the tagines, the skewers of marinated meat, the Merguez sausages are all laid out, the long tressle tables are covered in wipe clean plastic. It’s time to feast al fresco!

Djemma At Dusk

The lone man in red, in the midst of the maelstrom that is the Djemma El Fna. To his left is a woman painting henna patterns on a someone’s hands, to his right is a man selling teeth!

Through The Keyhole

In old town Essaouira there is no motorised traffic. Large metal barrows are the main way to transport goods around the place, or this sort of long wooden trolley. This photo was taken from the same roof terrace as Three Women Walking.

The Dyers' Souk

In the Dyer’s Souk, newly dyed, vibrantly coloured fabric hangs out to dry.
