Happy hump day! Hope your week is going well so far. Thought I'd share some more of my recent trip. I have to say, it was all pretty fantastic but, to be honest, a little harrowing at times too. More on that soon ;)
While in Marrakech we checked out the souks and had a road trip to Essaouira, as part of our Instant Love polaroid workshop. I have to admit, I'm not one for "bartering" or "haggling" when it comes to shopping, so I only dabbled in the shopping experience. Here are some of the colourful sights I saw and shot....
Cafe des Epices was a calm place to hang out after all the chaos in the souk.
This place was so beautiful, and much calmer than Marrakech. A perfect break.
Oranges were definitely in season. Loved the orange peel "garlands" at every fruit stand.
Whew...that was a lot, but there was just so much to shoot! Again, I do plan to post more on Flickr as soon as I get a chance.
Have a great day!

your pics are beautiful! I'm not one for haggling much either so I haven't done it at the souks here in Dubai either. I wish there were more "authentic" places around here to experience instead of all the flash and bling.
Amazing!! Your life makes my life look super boring!!
The alley way and boat shots are my favourites! What a stunning place. I hope to go one day:-)
gorgeous, wow, essaouira looks like my kind of place. i love those orange-peel garlands too, i must try it! x
it's come to this. I have to read about your adventures through your blog. sigh. How did we ever manage to get so busy.
I'm in love with that Peacock Pavilion. Looks absolutely lovely.
The cat is my favorite shot. I'd drink out of that water too! but is that rose water...it must be!
Oh, how beautiful ... love all these colours and textures. These places look wonderful!
wow...i really need to drag someone to take this trip with me!
What gorgeous photos - makes me want to visit!
Beautiful images!
I remember feeling that way about Morocco when we backpacked through it... incredibly beautiful but daunting and overwhelming at the same time. Truly an incredible experience.

oooohhhh sooooo jealous! love your images darl xx
I'm a terrible haggler. Really love all the colors you captured, Janis! ...And Essaouira...what a beautiful place.
Cafe Epices looks incredible. Your photographs are so captivating, Janis. I feel like I'm travelling right there with you....and I am loving every moment of it ;)
Adore these photos, I can't wait to visit myself one day!!
wow janice those pictures are beautiful. i love the one with the boats. what a trip.
What a beautiful trip. I can't get over all of the colors. It's just stunning!
So stunning...love the colour & rhythm of the boat pic!
It looks like such a fabulous trip Janis! Curious about the "harrowing" part.
You're making me want to go back!
One question, how did you take pictures with people in them and not get yelled at? When I asked, the answer was almost always no. WHen I didn't and they just happened to be in the picture I would get yells or glares. No fun
Marrakech looks so spell-binding! It would be the perfect trip for me in this time of the year!
have a great day

Oh, so much glorious colour! I bet it was hard to put your camera down.
