"Djemaa el Fna" is a square and market place in Marrakesh's medina quarter, the old city.
The place is the main square of Marrakesh, used equally by locals and tourists.
During the day it is predominantly occupied by orange juice stalls, youths with chained apes, water sellers in colourful costumes with leather water-bags and brass cups, and snake charmers who will pose for photographs for tourists.
As the day progresses the entertainments on offer change: the snake charmers depart, and in the afternoon and evening the square becomes more crowded, with dancing-boys, story-tellers, magicians, and peddlers of traditional medicines.
As dark descends the square fills with dozens of food-stalls, and the crowds are at their height. |

Hi Kris, I like your compositional approach for this... the colorful wheels clearly stand out and echo the multiple oranges... Cheers :) Daniel (ps - I've found 5 errors only...)
Hi Kris
beautifuly composed colourful composistion. I have only found one error, please correct me if I am wrong, and being new to the site i am not sure if this is the right place for the comment, please point me in the right direction. Before you took the photo did you ask if it was alright, as the guy on the left seems to be giving you the North African "go away nicely" sign, Wherever I travel I love taking photos of people, but before I do I always ask first, and if it is a stall buy something small or if it is a person you can always let them know you will give them something, a few rand helped a great deal in my recent travels through South Africa and up the Sani Pass into Lesotho. It could save you a black eye or in some countries even worse.
