Patterned

Just a brief departure from Morocco – I realized I hadn’t posted any abayas for a while, and I do have some new ones which I never feel like getting dressed up in to photograph. But since we’re going grocery shopping soon, I had Tim take a couple of pictures to show this one off. Hard to tell from this picture (and I was getting tired of smiling while he struggled with my D810 ;-)), but the outside is very sheer, and you can see the blue patterned fabric underneath as well as through long slits in the sleeves.

One of several scenes from the High Atlas Mountains, posted earlier:


Nikon D810 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/160s f/5.6 at 70.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Pretty and I like the "patterned effect" under the black sheer.
