I captured this photo a few days ago when I was exploring Dades Gorge with my couchsurfing host. We were climbing over rocks to get inside the Gorge to see this stunning landscape. Many people associate rocky gorges like this one with the Southwest of the US, but this place in Morocco is known very little! In fact, we were the only people inside the gorge.

JULIAN YOU ARE SO AWESOME PHOTOGRAPHER! :)
Aww thank you :)
Oh wow!!! The sun makes it that much more mesmerizing! Well done and yes, it looks like the SW of the US!! Morocco looks amazing!!
Morocco is amazing :D Thanks for your comment!
Wow would love to explore this place!
I am sure you would love it there!
I have to admit I thought it was America when I first saw your photograph @jpphotography. 😊 I am getting more and more interested in visiting Morocco the more of your photos I see!
By the time I will be finished posting my photos you will probably have already booked your flight haha.
Well that would be good wouldn't it? 😊
Stunning shot, quick question when you take a photo, do you take it, or make it? Something I heard recently :)
I think you say take a photo :)
Yes sorry I should have explained better. Recently I heard a very famous pro-photographer saying "I make photos, I don't take them" is this common among some photographers?
Never heard this before.. But it's true, the word take doesn't value the work that goes into creating a piece of photography, it is rather appropriate for snapshots

Want to have your post on the map too?
Got any filters on your lens? Looks amazing
No physical filters, just some Lightroom magic :D
It seems like Morocco is the new trend as I see a lot of people traveling in this place lately :D thanks for sharing your pics so I can feel like I'm also traveling to this wonderland :)
Most places in Morocco are not very touristy (at least not at this time of the year). But thanks to the cheap flights, more and more Europeans (so many Germans!) are making it to Morocco
I also have some Romanian friends which will be in Morocco in the following days :)
