We All Need
They say that the Djemaa el Fna, the largest market in Marrakesh, is the busiest square on the African continent, perhaps in the world. Slow and deliberate in the dry heat of the Moorish day, the market morphs as the shadows grow long; by nightfall it is no longer full of vegetable stalls, but has music and dancers and spicey cooked foods for evening enjoyment. Every sense, they say, comes alive when one is in Morocco for the first time.
Hazy, but never dull; Marrakesh is a place where the path to the old city is never forgotten and the sun sets languidly, as it it too is reluctant to lose the connection to the past … or the future. Here, trapped in these layers of light and accentuated by the solid forms in the foreground, is a little of the misty, incense laden air of Marrakesh.
