Blue marketplace (2)

This will be a series of four pictures from this interesting area, which included a blue walkway, several fountains and a lively marketplace. We had first come here with our tour guide, and trying to get a shot of the stairway and fountains was impossible because a group of tourists (young Spanish guys, I think) were clowning around there, and once they saw me waiting, they decided to stay even longer. After our guide left us, we climbed back up here for another try. Amazingly there was nobody on the stairs, although trying to surreptitiously take pictures of the market proved a challenge. Moroccans in general don’t like to be photographed.

My kind of shopping place!! I still have a large basket I bought in Morocco (for 60cents) many decades ago, from a marketplace such as this. A fascinating street shot. V
