Mine.... Photo was taken in Maroc (Morocco) in 2016. Marrakesh is I think the 4th largest city, and was the city in focus for the trip.

This is not your photograph. When inspecting your personal blog it appears that you are not a photographer and have a habit of using photos that are not yours. This image can be found here:

Maybe you haven't heard of something called tour guides? Obviously, pictures on my blog show sources... I don't need to be a photographer to have pics morroco1.jpg

I know all about tour guides, but the image that you submitted is still not your work. It belongs to a photographer from Belgium that goes by the name Novinit. Here is a screen grab from from when the image was uploaded to this site on Sept 6th, 2015, which is different than the date you claimed it was taken in 2016.

The reason I made the comment about you not being a photographer is when people that take photographs like this that show up on stock websites for sale, they post their photography on their blogs as well. So I apologize if that came off as offensive to you and I was in no way trying to imply that you do not have any pictures. I was trying to convey that the first image was not yours.

Good call! Thank you Wes! The entry does not even qualify for the contest due to lack of word description. What a waste of time!
