Scenes from Everyday Life/Marrakesh Medina


Some informal pictures of ordinary life in the old town.


Coffee, conversation and watching the world go by.....


 Bringing chickens to market.


 A woman in very traditional dress -- most younger ones are far less covered up.


Sweet pastries in the souk.


 The food stalls as dusk falls over the main square.


A rather alarming and all too common sight --two men up ladders doing important stuff to the electrics.
I'm glad it isn't me.


Waiting to buy the perfect chicken for dinner at the mellah covered market.

  10. I know it would be fresh but I am glad I don't have to kill my chicken before I eat it. Memories of my father doing just that when we kept chickens.
