5 photo round up of what I saw/did this week.
Hope you all enjoy them.
Look closely... yes that is a CAMELS HEAD... Never in my life had I seen a CAMELS head hanging at a meat market. I of course had to take a picture of it and share it with y'all. So now I have seen pigs, cows, sheep and a few other animals but this one trumps them all. I wanna try a camel burger soon.
During a tour of the medina in Fez we were taken into a shop, but I was more interested in this old man sitting across from the shop. I took this shot with out him noticing. He was just siting there and didn't move the entire time we were at the shop. I also was wondering if that was his bike or not.
A shot of one of the tanneries in Fez. So what is a tannery find out here. This is where they process leather to dy it different colors and transform them into what we purchase at the end of the process. The smell is very strong and horrible... so before you visit one they normally give you mint leaves to use as a mask.
A shot of the Jewish Cemetery in Fez. With over 18000 tombs and 600 of them unnamed it is a very unique experience to wonder through them. This shot was taken from outside of the cemetery looking through a wired fence. I like it because you can see the fence outline in the photo. All the tombs in the cemetery are white on the other side there were some that looked freshly painted so I am assuming they touch them up every once in a while.
A shot of me with the lady who gave me a henna tat of a scorpion for free. I love it a lot that I named him SPHERE!!! I got it on my calf muscle... where if I ever got a tat in real life it would be right there. I also love the back drop to the whole picture... it gives you a hint at how crazy the main square in Marrakech gets. I will try and get some awesome shots of it at night very soon.
