La Mamounia

The exit at the famous La Mamounia hotel, where such people as Winston Churchill and Richard Nixon have stayed. It was opened in 1923 on the site of a residence that belonged to the son of a sultan in the 18th century. All that remains is the magnificent 130,000 square meter (32 acre) garden planted with olive and orange trees and a pavilion that was built by a Saadian ruler in the 15th century.

A striking arcade at La Mamounia, posted earlier:

The centering of these arches and the light and shadows make a vibrant capture with great depth. I really like the colors and layers in this image. Voted
