    Yes, Steven, keep it in the corner of your mind, and save a bit this year for a wonderful time there.

    Legzira. Meniscus lens 210mm out of barrel, 10s exposure?

    Just wake up, camera on the shoulder and go for a walk. You can see the first arch in the background. High tide obviously...
    So? Anyone keen?
    Nice and warm, good food...

    Besideds taking portraits of the people living there, I will follow Rachid, one of the fisherman who lives in a cave. People dont have much, and are very giving. Lessons to be learned here.

    Since he lives by the sea, he knows all the paths to go to particular views, and understand the sea. He discovered few times bodies of offshore sisherman washed out after a storm. These are the 2 arches closest to Legzira

    dagor 240mm


    More to come, as I have about 50 5x7s to develop still...

    Legzira

    You can see the first arch (which is the second on the previous photo).



    I hope to bend the mind of a couple of guys here and show the "magic" of the place.

    Of course, more to come as they get processed....

    As Tunisia will be closed down for a couple of months now, at least, - the availability/price of February Agadir flights will become impossible. So no winter break this year.

    Great pictures, Stephane!

    I drove about Morocco in a tiny Fiat for a week in the Spring of 1989.
