Conversation by the sea, Essaouira, Morocco, 2006

These men, dressed in traditional Moroccan jellabas, enjoyed a leisurely chat along side of Essaouira sea wall. They take no note of the surging waves crashing against it in the background. Their costumes, as well as the aging wall at their side, suggest that little has changed here over the centuries.

They are both wearing jellabas, Christine -- a loose fitting hooded garment that is part of Moroccos culture to this day. And yes, garments like these were worn by Monks and Friars in Europe for centuries.

There is something mysterious in this photograph. The man with the cape would scare today. Yet, it used to be what was worn.
