Chefchaouen

This beautiful medieval town, a short drive from Tangier in the mountain region, has a distinctive Spanish character, having been settled by Spanish refugees in the middle ages. The medina of the town has become renowned as one of the most charming in Morocco, with whitewashed gabled houses where craftsmen sit contentedly in their shops sewing caftans and embroidering jellabahs. The medina is dominated by a 17th-century Great Mosque, which fronts a picturesque square dotted with mulberry trees and inviting restaurants. The square is surrounded by souks selling carpets, leather goods, pottery and copper ware.

Excellent composition, great colours. This bluish tone is wonderful! Actually, you are right; the steps look like icy. Very nice perspective and lighting! Very well done Jose!

superbe medina de Chefchaouen, beau cliché, il manque juste un petit "truc" pour tromper la verticalité...

Hola Jose,
Good upwards perspective you got here, and always these nice blueisch walls and stairs, I find they give the place a very special atmosphere, do you have any idea why the use this color ?
Saludos,
Jean-Yves

Que flipe!
Pintan hasta el suelo?
Estaría bien ver un lugareño bajando por la calle para bordarla.

Well titled Jose;

The steps do like icy. I like this type of whitewash they do, and the bluish tones. It looks very clean. Makes for an interesting shot- well captured!
