Marrakech Courtyard

Marrakech is really the place to be for nice photography. This picture was made by Francis Bouhuisen, a fellow traveler on my recent Morocco trip. I liked it very much, did some post processing and placed it here. (with her permission). Hope you like it too!

Medersa Ben Youssef (Marrakech, Morocco)

The Medersa Ben Youssef is a Koranic school that dates from the 16th century. It's definately worth a visit when you are in Marrakech, Morocco. The floor and pilars are real mozaic from very little tiles. The top of the pilars and wals are hand-made with very detailed stone/wood carving. Must have cost thousands of hours to make it. Very impressive! Please click on the pictures to see the large versions.

Little boys

Little boys on side of the road near Azib Tamsoult, Morocco. Not my best picture from a technical point of view (very much cropped) but I liked the expression on their faces.

Campsite By Night, Lac d'Ifni (Morocco)

Campsite by night...

Panorama Lac d'Ifni - Morocco

Panorama of Lac d'Ifni, near the Jebel Toubkal in the High Atlas mountains in Morocco. The water in the lake was clear, not too cold and very nice to swim in! It was quiet around there and we put up our tents on the rocks of the morene that was coming from the mountains.
This panorama was stitched from 3 separate photo's. I used Canon PhotoStitch to create a image of 7600x2000 pixels. Please click on the image to see a larger version.
