Here in the background you see the Berber-style kasbah, which is, a rural as well as urban fortification. This is most commonly found in southern Morrocco, particularly in the Dades Valley. The Kasbahs were usually errected by some local potentate in order to give protection for his small garrison.
It is interesting to see that these building were build using what was available in the region, thus being 100% enviroment friendly. Due to their high maintenance expenses, most are ledt to ruin and people prefer to build modern buildings.
In the contrast the rusting car is just another human invention to pollute this world.
