Capturing moments in Marrakesh with my camera, I could not get over the color, elaborate detail work, lush gardens and play of light over it all. There are beautiful hand - crafted details all over Marrakesh- too many to catch everything on film. Lush gardens bursting with color, painted buildings in saturated colors , intricate handwork on any number of surfaces, the amazing light. Just some of the things that made Marrakech magical.
