Morocco, charming land of contrasts

At the Hassan 2 mosk in Casablanca
youg people meet and chat
or joke with their I phone
stores display all kinds of olives
while a young couple...
The medina of Marrakech is a different world 
with veiled woman selling souvenirs
in the narrow streets...
a sitting veiled woman
a beautiful island...
in the Majorelle garden
music before diner
up in the high Atlas
where young kids posed for a photo
I surprised this young girl...
who ran to this little house
we had tea by a berber family
their shy daughter ran away
we said bye bye to them
and looked at the green and ochre mixing so well
by a 11th century kasbah
sits a berber man
and his donkey waits...
while a woman rides her mule
A smiling baby says hello...
to a woman passing by
2 riding students
a"one eyed" berber woman goes
another rests in the shade
we reach the desert and its blue people
close to a beautiful sand dune
in the medina of Fez...
an old woman heavily loaded 
we arrive at the tanneries...
where it's hard working
by the mosaics of Volubilis
Like this stork from Volubilis,we had to fly back home

the young generation dreams about their future
