Morocco1

My lovely cousin and equally lovely cousin-in-law (whose photographs I displayed on the blog in a series earlier this year because he is very good) are currently gallivanting around the world and occasionally send back pictures to – no doubt – make us relatives and friends here insanely jealous. *wink*

I asked if I could post the above shot from Morocco. Alas, I cannot get the sizing right. This is annoying because I fear the impact of the shot is lost on the smaller scale. Enlarged, you see such detail: this is a tannery in Fes and you see all the vats (filled with different coloured liquids), the people, the houses, the sky.

Amazing. Hopefully one day I’ll get to see it.
