I had a bit of a love hate relationship going on there with Marrakesh. I adored it overall I would say, but there were just some random encounters, etc that just drove me beyond crazy while wandering through the narrow alleyways. However I found the beauty of the place quite mesmerizing and I enjoyed just watching the daily flow of life move around me. On my last day in Marrakesh I checked out and went out early to get some last minute sightseeing before my flight back to London, and I somehow went in a direction I hadn’t gone before. As I was walking through the markets I happened to notice the light puncturing through the porous ceiling of the covered markets and couldn’t help but stop to try to capture it the best that I could.

Wow. It isn’t often you can find the souk so quiet.

Yes certainly! My favorite thing to do in any new city is to wake up early and explore. I love watching a place wake up.

Love the photo. I’m hoping to travel to Morocco in February/April 2014, so I am enjoying reading your blogs about the country!

Agreed! That’s a very cool shot! It feels like very early morning.
AY says
Thanks! Yeah it was very early in the morning. I like to get out early when I’m traveling before the city fully wakes up.

Well, I’d say you succeeded! Looks cool – kinda atmospheric.

Thanks! I was hoping the light coming through would have been more of an impact than what it ended up in the photo but overall i’m fairly happy.
