When the holy day of Eid Al-kbir (also Eid al-Addha) coincided with the beggining of the christian year of 2007, Marrakesh turned into itself and muslims came out into the streets to honour Ibrahim, who promised to sacrifice his own son when God asked him to. In this sacrificing day, millions of lambs were beheaded in Morocco.While crossing over the Mellah (old jewish quarter) the heads of lambs were grinning morbidly inside the flames while figures came out of the luminous mist. Part of the celebration includes sharing the animal with poor people.

This one says Mitsubishi at the back. Must be an imported one.
Great place!

She is not bent over because of her load. This is as straight as she can stand. Beautiful
Spent the night in the Dunes and this was riding the camels out of the dunes the next morning. Would do it again in a second... wonderful night under the stars!
Fes, Morocco
After a sandstorm
Ok, ok, not the 29 Palms town from California and probably, not the 29 Palms from the song either - just a small oasis in the middle of vast Saharan "sandness" near Merzouga. My northerner's nature found the sight quite surreal and forced me to press the shutter. Hope you like this shadowy refuge too :)
We've seen it all... appeared to be the expression of these sheep in the face of the oncoming Saharan sand-storm. The white "wall" in the background is sand, lifted up and carried by the wind. The sand would change colors depending on the density of clouds above, but at this point it just seemed like a white, impenetrable wall. Seconds later, the wall would be where the sheep were in the picture. Once you are in the middle of it, you cannot see further than a couple yards and the sand has it's evil ways to get EVERYWHERE. I had to hide my eyes and my camera. However, the little Canon still remembers the experience, whenever I try to rotate any dials. The sheep did not seem to be bothered though...
