Essaouria, Morocco
This photo was taken by Phil of Phil in the Blank and How to Draw Camels. (He inspired me to take a sketch pad and some pencils to Morocco.) Beautiful scene!
Medina in Essaouira, Morocco.
Phil has this to say about the photo:
"Called the 'windiest city in Africa,' the walls of the old city provide a refuge. Inside, colorful scarves billow from shops that line the narrow corridors, fresh caught fish is grilled to order, and the scent of lavender and cinnamon lingers in the air from the many spice vendors."
Phil Paoletta is a West Africa obsessed camel drawing consultant. You can read about his thoughts and travels on his blog at http://philintheblank.net. He teaches people how to draw camels while sharing and supporting social enterprises in West Africa on the website http://
Morocco is on my list! I hear they have great mint tea :)
In fact, they do! Be sure to try out some of the other great teas, too! My favorite is verbena (“louiza”) in milk, mmm!
