  A flowery meadow from Eden. Geraniums, a whole path lined with daisies. Olives and willows.More of the same..........and a grape arbor near the house.............A path through the olive grove where the earth has been plowed.If you look very carefull...

  Long time readers of this blog will find it rather stale news that I love color and texture - and windows, doors and walls.However a small selection below.A window at Dar Cherifa.A window at the rental we shared outside Essouira last summer.The whole...

• Complicated Patterns

  Posted on Saturday March 8th, 2008 at 08:07 in patterns, maroc, metal light covers, tiles shadows

  This is a light in my study.The metal light cover hides the awful naked bulb and throws patterns onto the wall.The best light like this was a lantern in a castle south of Ouazzazatte -it had a candle inside rather than a light bulb.This woven bamboo ...
