village after village

somewhere between Tamdaght and Telouet (Ouarzazate), Morocco

I was in awe on road P1506 between Tamdaght (Tamedakhte) and Telouet.  Village after village appeared out of nowhere.

off to cut some grass

Tamdaght (Ouarzazate), Morocco

Off to get food for the animals...  Next to Tamdaght is a fertile area of land with a lot of long green grass.  This is where the woman is going to fill her baskets.

A'isha عائشة

Tamdaght (Ouarzazate), Morocco

A'isha only spoke Arabic and Berber, but while enjoying a wonderful glass of tea with her, I felt like I understood everything she was saying just by looking into her eyes and seeing her beautiful smile and gestures.

open the doors of your imagination

Tamdaght (Ouarzazate), Morocco

"It is literature which for me opened the mysterious and decisive doors of imagination and understanding.  To see the way others see.  To think the way others think.  And above all, to feel."

between the High and Anti-Atlas

Ouarzazate, Morocco

-Between the High and the Anti-Atlas mountain ranges-  

You can drives for miles on end and not see any sign of civilization, then you come upon things like this.
