Morocco Images Part 2, Marrakech

Marrakech, 2009

Marrakech is one of my all time favorite cities. It has incredible energy, a large and diverse population, incredible history and it never seems to close down. 

In July 2009 the temperatures reached as high as 135 degrees. When its that hot out, the streets are nearly empty- you feel like you have the city to yourself. When the sun set, the city transforms into a bustling metropolis. All the images in this selection were taken during the day- you can see how empty the streets are! The final image is of the Djemaa el F'na- one of the most popular public squares and market in the city.
