The ramparts that completely encircle the old cit of Marrakesh are almost a thousand years old and stretch for 12 miles in an unbroken circle. I found this group of men resting and reading at the base of this wall as dusk approached. By underexposing the image, I highlight the man in the brown cloak, and place everything but the golden wall in shadow. The resulting abstraction and the contrast between light and shadow create a restful atmosphere.
