Doors & Arches

If the crowd clears a bit in the souks you will get to see some wonderful doorways and if you remember to look up you may see some very ancient arches. Much of the time these go unnoticed because most people are busy navigating their way through the busy alleys concentrating on their map or dodging speeding motorbikes and plodding donkeys, both totally understandable occupations if you are at all familiar with Marrakech. I count myself lucky as I can wander at off peak times but also  I don't have the pressure of a tourist agenda. This city dates back to the 12th century and just this fact alone is hard to take in. The arches and doors that I so appreciate are a tiny but charming part of this ancient walled Medina that I have come to love.

The top one is definitely a colour scheme to remember!
