It was late afternoon in Zagora, Morocco with an enjoyable weather. However, the nice weather suddenly changed to its worst. Added to that, sandy wind started blowing intensely. In spite of this, the locals did not rush to their houses, they just kept on working. They are simple, hardworking, and great people.

Inside the high mountains of Atlas, this child as they told me, not have a normal life like every child should. When a friend asked him to pose for the camera, all he has to do is to look to it, so he is looking through you.

After 40 minutes of walk on a camel, I took this picture in the middle of nowhere. It was in Merzouga, a desert place in Morocco, 18 km from Algeria. An empty but beautiful place, where the magic is still real.

Photo of the Day | August 29 | Pillars of the Mind by Liesl Cheney

L&C Team — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 13:54:12 +0000

The Moroccan architecture is fascinating. The use of symmetry and geometric shapes is fantastic and a real treat for the wondering photographer. This building, the El Bhahia Palace is beautifully decorated and a treat to explore. I tried to capture some of the beauty of the decoration together with a bit of scale of this beautiful room.

Photo of the Day | August 07 | Secrets of the Soul by Liesl Cheney

L&C Team — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 13:56:42 +0000

This photo was taken whilst I was in holiday in Marrakech. My husband and I were sitting in a cafe drinking mint tea over-looking the Djemaa el Fna, which is the main square in the Medina. The square is really full of life and soul and I really wanted to try and capture the spirit of this beautiful city.

This is a great little candid shot that I took while exploring Marrakech. The city is so full of little nooks and crannies, you never know who is watching you. This lady was a bit off the beaten tourist track, selling woven bags down a side street. I noticed her through the windows of the Madrasa Ben Jousef and took a cheeky little snap.
