Memories of Morocco

image_printPRINT PAGE

If you’re someone who loves color, pattern, texture, architecture, stepping back in time and history, super-welcoming women, a wide variety of landscapes, enjoying some of the world’s more exotic and delicious cuisines, getting lost while shopping centuries-old streets/medinas, taking a spin on a camel and sleeping under the stars in the Sahara Desert, Morocco could very well be on your travel to-do list. It was on mine. I toured with National Geographic Photo Safaris two of the three times I’ve been there.

Not to be missed: a stroll through Jemaa el-Fnaa Square. Where else can you find food stands, snake charmers, tooth pullers, monkey tenders, fortune tellers, acrobats, henna hand artists, fire eaters and more? All together in one open-air theater. Marvelous Marrakech!

Here are a few of my favorite images. Many thanks to Mariya for compiling them into a short video.

Photography: Lois Anderson / Video: Mariya Anderson

    What a colorful and creative way to visit Morocco, using your keen eye and camera to capture your time in this magical Mecca! I felt I was there and as they say: a picture speaks a thousand words. Thanks for sharing this virtual voyage.

    India has always intrigued me. Your portrayal is so beautiful and just as I imagined it to me. Thank you.
    Also, I am inspired to again read a favorite book about, India.

These resourceful nighttime intruders have nailed getting into unlocked cars. Their break-and-enter techniques rival those used by human car burglars. And they’ve learned which are the easiest targets: minivans, Hondas and Toyotas. Best to be β€œbear aware” when travelng in the Sierras!

Most local flower shops, considered nonessential businesses, are closed. The virus has disrupted supply chains and forced florists to miss out on millions of dollars in revenue as event after event has evaporated. 
For the time being, I’m proposing a colorful/practical alternative.
