Zis Valley in winter colors, Midelt, Morocco, 2006

The vivid winter colors of these golden Aspens appear even more startling when seen juxtaposed against a sea of palm trees. The contrasting colors and kinds of trees create a seldom seen incongruous beauty.

Beautiful

I knew this image would warm your soul, Tim. We have both made similar images standing side by side in California's Sierra Nevada Mountains. (http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/69219414 andhttp://www.pbase.com/mityam/image/36194804 ) But in this case, the golden Aspen's act as an anchor in a sea of Date Palms. It is this special kind of harmony (and dissonance) that makes Morocco a place of beautiful surprises.

Expression can sometimes be mostly about beauty - this scene is beautiful and captures my heart like the rich harmonies in a hymn.
