Morocco through the lens
In true Rowena style, I snapped happy in Morocco, where appropriate. In fact I even used the old film camera too for sentimental purposes (I didn't bring a large memory card!) though it took some time to get used to looking through a viewfinder!
Highlights include:
Oujda (top left), where I felt local, wandered virtually into people's front doors and felt carpet under my feet.
The tanneries of Fez (top right), where dead animals are turned into handbags.
Sefrou, a small mountain village, on the day of the Berber market. (top left)
The colourful markets of Fez. Yep, that's a camel head at the butchers...

Shucks, thanks - kiitos - shokran
It seems that the city of Fez still lingers in the Middle Ages. As you arrive in the city and begin to walk around your senses are torn between beautiful sights, intricate sounds and colorful smells. Much of the city is still holding on to its French roots. Fez's tanneries are shrouded by a heavy and unpleasant stench, but they also produce some of the world's finest leather. It's one of Morocco's main exports, that is why there are so many foreign businessmen who invest not only in property in Morocco, but also in buying leather in a huge amount. Stay on the right side of the law and invest in buttery-soft leather goods, such as bags, vests, slippers, and camel toys for the kids.
