Magical place. Marrakech. Morocco.

Marrakech. There's only one world to define it: magical... Snake charmers, magic potions, hidden palaces, and international spies from the past: Marrakesh, the capital of the south, has a mysterious and seductive air and brings the most outlandish travelers' tales to life. The reddish city has waylaid desert caravans since the 11th century, as visitors succumb to the charms of its bluesy Gnaoua trance music, colorful bazaars, steamy hammams (traditional Moroccan spas), and multi-course feasts. This mosque is not fare from the city walls, one of the biggest attractions of Marrakech. They where built in the XII century and subsequently destroyed and rebuilt. The reddish color is distinctive and the two meters thick and 15 kilometers long are impressive. It has powerful ancient ramparts, various styles and many monumental doors. I realize now that this photo was taken 11 years ago in the outskirts of Marrakech! Incredible how time flies! By that time I had an amazing traveling experience in Morocco. I still remember every single detail. In some way, photography can be timeless, without beginning or end; eternal; almost everlasting. Marrakech is not only a fantastic city, it is also a symbol of the Morocco that once was, and which still survives here. In my opinion, this photo captures the exact felling of this vibrant and timeless place.
