High Mountain Doings

From 8200 feet along one side of the Upper Arkansas River Valley in central Colorado, my blog is about many things: travel including river and bicycle trips, and other experiences as well. The focus is on photography, not lots of text.

Marrakech Streets and Souq

Atop the souq and everywhere else, there are hundreds of storks nesting and multiplying.

Do you know what these things are? I don't know either. They're in the Marrakech souq, which is the very concentrated part of the marketplace with narrow, semi-covered passageways. A large number of small shops are here, and I had the impression that many of the proprietors actually live here. I don't know whether that's correct.

One of several hundred, if not thousands, of shops in or near the souq, Marrakech, Morocco.

Another street in Marrakech, this one a little wider than the one below and lined with shops.

Walking down one of the narrow passageways in the old city of Marrakech. Some of these places date from the 14th Century.

I just learned that the curvy, colored objects in one of the photos in this post are lanterns made from painted animal skins. Thanks, Ginnie.
