Marrakech red Photo

Photographer’s Note

One of the memories of Marrakech that sticks most with me is the reds to be found in the narrow back lane ways. This photo was taken whilst we were trying to find our way from the Saadian Tombs through the kasbah to the Badi Palace. We weren't quite lost (we did that elsewhere in Marrakech) but we had to ask a couple of times before we found the way through the back door of a shop through to the road that we wanted.
Nothing is quite straight - I "levelled" the photo using the door frame.

Hello Ian,
These walls “bleeding” are extraordinary. I appreciate the sight of this electrical installation which joggles and dangerous:) Superb image of an original district by his colors, and this enigmatic door. Observed very well, good realization.
Have a nice day.
Cordially.

Hello Ian

An abstract and minimalist composition with a strong appeal. The blend of monochromatism and textures produces a soothing effect.
