MOROCCO

My post last weekend got me sifting through our Moroccan treasures (well, treasures to me anyway).

Jewelry, scarves and chair

The Berber jewelry makes a seasonal appearance in my wardrobe.  Since that trip many years ago, the necklaces have become summer staples.  I only took out a few for these pictures.

The colors I saw in Morocco -- dusk in the Atlas Mountains, sunset at the edge of the desert, tiles in Fez, the souks of Marrakech -- are indescribable.  I won't even try.

So just a quick mid-week post.  For now, I hope you get a little glimpse of what captivated me (and countless others) in Morocco.

    Hi, no actually the photos are taken in Norway but that is next to Sweden so you were pretty close.
    Oh my god, the colours are one of the main reasons I want to go to Morocco.

    One of the many words I associate with your blog and your images is 'vibrant'. These images practically jump off the screen. I have not, as yet, visited Morocco, but I hope to.

    Beautiful photographs and I adore the colors. I've not been to Morocco (the husband has), just Tunisia and Egypt - some of the souks in Tunisia remind me of these shots. I do have some jewelry I collected from the area which is dear to me.
