Lawrence of Katama ...

The Riff Mountains in northern Africa ......... shot thru the front windshield - in the rain - and the fog - with the wipers on ...................... (and my feet hurt) (-;

Perfect timing~ (this and the previous one both)

Hello Mr. C ..... yes I beat the windshield wipers on this one - It was a weird place - I am told Katama is 'Hash Central' in Morocco - another Moroccan told me "if you can show your face nowhere else in Morocco - you come to Katama" (-;

Both descriptions of Katama sound very interesting. :) I'm surprised to hear that you are 'still' traveling. Amazing. I guess you'll need a bunch of hard drives to store the photos...

 

I like the muted background in this picture. It's like an oil painted backdrop, making the scene surreal.

It was the beginning of a 12 hour drive from Gibraltar to Fez ..... we took the 'scenic' route thru the Riff Mountains - and with the fog and mountain roads it turned into the 'long scenic' route ...... the temp outside was 4C - which meant it was 4 degrees away from SNOWING ........ I was expecting more Sahara like conditions in Morocco - I was wrong (-;

 

As for storage - I have about 26G of various size memory cards (Five 4G cards +) so I used them for storage on this 2 week drive .... not ideal but it worked .. !

Mood and atmosphere.... interesting shadow play, too... I like it alot, Cowboy ;-)

Thank you Bama' - I'm glad you like it .. (-;

Beautiful shot, Ken! I love this very much!

Images with implied narrative fascinate me.

Brad it was an adventure for sure - thank you for sharing your thoughts old friend .. (-;

priceless!!!

Powerful, evocative, moody and obscured image. Intense drama even without knowing the background of the image, it is still dark and somewhat scary. The lone tail light lit also adds to just this sort of; "everything is not all right" feeling. Fabulous image, your trip sounds like an odyssey as well!

Philip nice to see you - and that's exactly how it felt - glad you like it and took the time ... !
