Marrakesh, Essaouira, and the The High AtlasList Item 1
July 2019
This collection covers three areas within Morocco; each of which has its own distinct beauty and charm. Marrakesh is the vibrant and loud city with a maze of souks to explore around the central Tahrir Square. The term sensory overload is most apt with its heady mix of sights, sounds, tastes, and smells.
Essaouira by contrast is a peaceful and calm fishing village on the Western Coast; spending a day wandering around is the perfect balance to the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh.
To the North of Marrakesh is the High Atlas mountain range; with elevations exceeding 4,000m the scenery and landscape becomes the focus.

Berber MarketList Item 2
Berbers are an ethnicity of several nations mostly indigenous to North Africa. Language, dress, and culture identify them as distinct from Moroccans in general. This series of photos captures a weekly market where villagers from the surrounding areas come to trade. The Berber Ferrari (donkey) parking along the market wall was something to behold in itself.
