Morocco..another glimpse.

[faris]

Hi there Wouter.

Really appreciate your encouragement.

To the other question; we are not from Morocco, but from the same culture. We share the same traditions and sensitivities. For either of us, it is the same.

And we always photograph in full view of those that we photograph. And neither of us carries long lenses. In Morocoo or anywhere else.

As in any country, respecting a people's wishes shall make your stay a very memorable and pleasant one. And surprisingly a very photographically productive one too. Don't hesitate to ask politely!!, and move on if refused.

With best wishes.

The set of images is superb. There is no doubt about it. Consider for you and your wife to put together a book of some sort. Why not?

My cousin's same is Faris too.

I post infrequently here, but I just had to express my admiration for both you and your wife's photographs, but more importantly for the sensitivity and depth of feeling those photos express. Morocco is now alive for me.

Lawrence, I shared your comments with my wife. And this is what I have been asked to say..' That is such a wonderful compliment! '. I agree.

Thank you so very much.
Best regards.

Great set of photos from Morocco.

I went to Tangiers / Meknes / Chefchaouen 20+ years ago and enjoyed it all (except for Tangiers which I thought was an awful place).

My wife and I have just got back from a week in Marrakesh / Essauoira. Probably the wrong time of year to go as it is ridiculously hot at 46-50 degrees celsius at midday. However, an interesting place and worth the visit. Sadly, the locals in Marrakesh are generally very anti street photography, so I just had to tough it out.

I posted a couple of shots in the gallery if you're interested.....

Regards. Paul.

Hey great photos!

I have a question though - I am looking to go to Morroco in February as it will be my wife and I's honeymoon. Is february a good time to go or will it be too cold?

Thanks!

Depends where you want to go. But not compared to parts of Europe.

The Atlas mountains will be cold..even sometimes snowbound.
Marrakesh, the western coastal towns, Tangiers, would be ideal time to visit. Chilly and maybe windy in Essouira like.

Best regards.

Hiya Faris.

Here's a link to my photos. I'm not sure if this is the best way to direct you but hope it works....

Yes, this looks like one of the places we visited. The outdoor spaces were, generally speaking, less intense than the souks themselves. It's a pity the traders are so aggressive as, if they'd let you browse and mark up a fair "fixed" price from the outset, I'm sure they'd sell a lot more of their tut to us tourists....

Incidentally, all of the people we spoke to recommended March and April as the best months to visit Marrakesh as it's nowhere near as hot but, as it's spring, the flowers are out and it's warm enough for shirt sleeves and little need to take a jumper or jacket.
