Satelite City Photo

Photographer’s Note

Within the walls of its medina, Fes el Bali (old Fes) lies the worlds largest intact medieval city. There are more than 9500 narrow streets and alleyways which wind endlessly up and down.
With this view over the city I was surprised to see so many satelite dishes everywhere.

Hi Wanda!

I remember when you were taking that photo, I was behind you holding your ice cream and... wait a minute, I've never been to Morocco... :-P)

I don't think I would have recognize your signature on this one, but I do like it a lot. A cubist painting, an incredible 3D puzzle... I like to see different earth tones under soft light and no harsh contrasts.

If I would have been with you, I would have been nervous you were too close to the edge of the rooftop where you were standing... :-P)

Have a nice day satellite girl!

Hi Wanda
I like such busy images, overloaded with details, not only dishes but also windows, drying clothes etc, it's good that you have framed it without sky
Have a nice day JY

Hi Wanda

Dag Wanda,

Great shot. Because of the colours and pov, the dishes don't stand out at first, that's where your title comes in! Impressive scene, great crop.
Geniet van het weekend.

Dag Wanda,
Mooi beeld van de oude stad met zijn rode huizen en het woud van satellietschotels op de daken.
Groeten gerrit

Hi Wanda

I've been to a similar place in Tunisia.
Reminds me exactly of the Medina in Tunis.
We would all love to see any photos of the narrow streets and alleyways if you have them.

This paticular photo is very busy, but also very educational for anyone who hasn't seen these types of areas before. We can learn alot just by looking, and that is exactly what TE is all about
Very well done
Thank you
have a great weekend

carpets and what not. Lovely
POV and colours.

Hi Wanda,
Well framed with only these houses, good result for a shot, interesting repetition with all these cubic houses and also with windows.
