My most vivid image from Essaouira is the seagulls stealing the fish from the fishermen ☺ excellent photos!

  The seagulls were rather scary. I live near the coast so get used to them but those gulls in Essouira were huge!

I love the first photo here, Andrew. It looks like it belongs to the past, yet there’s modern clothing on the people. I find it captivating like they have time travelled – if you know what I mean? Magic!

  It is interesting to wander through the Souks, it as though east meets west, medieval meets modern!

Love the bright colors, but in bright sunlight they must be even brighter. Wonderful photos. What are those three cone looking swirls in the first photo? Is that a postcard?

  It was a painting. It represents three women in traditional clothing.

    So glad to hear our wacky spellings are acceptable. Before I started blogging I really had no clue why the variations. 😉

The first one is clever but slightly bizarre, don’t you think? Fabulous colours in both posts though. 🙂 More travel lined up, Andrew?

  It is odd. It depicts Muslim women in traditional dress but generally speaking traditional Muslim women dress is not that stylish!
  Just a frantic couple of weeks of planning Jo. Spain next and at last a visit to Granada then Ireland (Cork), the Greek Islands and then Malta. A busy year. What about you?

    Good heavens! Nothing so exciting. 😦 Just Portugal and Poland so far. I’m a stay-at-home 🙂
