Monomad Challenge - Marrakech Skyline

Marrakech skyline #1

When I visit different places around the world I try not to get the same "tourist-y" that everyone else gets. I like to try and get something a little different if I can. Something that is still “of the place “ but hopefully something that hasn’t been taken and posted across the web a million times before.

Most of these images were taken from a roof top bar and I think they show the city of Marrakech in a different light. Marrakech is a busy hub of a city, colourful and vibrant. It’s a sprawling cosmopolis.

The first thing that really stuck me was how low the city is. Its an old city which thankfully hasn’t been overrun with high rise flats, office buildings. It is a modern city but it still retains its charm.

The nearby Atlas mountains, which straddles the top of the African continent, provide a stunning backdrop to the city, and harkens back to the days of old trade routes.

And finally, an image that all visitors to Marrakech take, the Kotoubia mosque. A must see for any visitor to the city

About me:

I can mostly be found shooting models, aviation, motorsports and, when I can, wildlife. But I enjoy most aspects of photography. You can find more of my work on the links below.

My favourite is the mosque, the pattern looks so beautiful and the stone that is made of very impressive :)

@seeger thank you my friend. It always amazes me how such beautiful buildings were built so long ago

Actually I am surprise how bad we are in building good quality buildings now with such progress of the modern technology. If you see Victorian style houses, they are still strong and in good condition unlike those that are built recently and sometimes falling apart already.
