in #marketfriday6 years ago

Hi my dear Steemians! Hope you all are wonderful!

Here is my #MarketFriday, initiated by one of the loveliest ladies of Steemit, my dear Denise <3!

Today I'm bringing you a special market in one of the most beautiful locations I've been so far, Ait Ben Haddou, Ouarzazate, in Morocco.

On the way to the desert, you can visit this ancient and typical village, with a unique architecture and colors. It has served as many movies sets over the years, from The Gladiator to The Game of Thrones! It is famous for that and it's considered the movies capital of Morocco. More than 50 movies were filmed there. I will make a post about it, but today is time to post some pics os the market there!

What I liked best were the tapestries and the paintings, all depicting the warm and bright colors of the desert. But there was all kind of things for sale, the typical products of Morocco made in leather, fabric, and spices, all kind of spices and dried fruits, like dates...

I tried not to get distracted from the magnificent view around, and never stopped taking photos of it, but couldn't take my eyes of the wonderful colors that were all over at the small shops of this magic place!

P.S. - lovely images, however, we require at least 250 words in the main body. Yours came to 238, sorry.

Thanks, and aw, my word count was 277, don´t know what happened then... but it´s ok, I will try to compensate next time!

It could have been, however, we only count words towards the travel-related subject. In your case, the text below the last image doesn't qualify as such. Really sorry about that. But we hope to see more posts from you in the future!

Aw, I wasn't aware of that rule. Keep learning. Thanks!

Como siempre, sin palabras ante la belleza de las fotografías que nos regalas.

Muchisimas gracias, me encantan tus palabras!

Que conste que creo que eres una fotógrafa excepcional, pero si algún día viera que pierdes calidad, también te lo diría. Pero no creo que eso se produzca.

Oh, gracias, pero como todo en la vida, hay dias mejores y peores tanbien en la fotografia. Aprecio tu sinceridad. Gracias, amigo!

Cierto, pero cuando las cosas se hacen con ilusión y con pasión, esos pequeños vendavales anímicos no afectan demasiado al trabajo. Hasta en un mal día, se puede conseguir una buena foto.

Si... Y se eso ocurre ele dia pasa a ser perfecto. No lo se explicar mejor, pero la sensacion de mirar una foto y discubrir que casi la has deletado en la camara, para afinal ser una buena sorpresa... no la pudeo describir. Un dia perfecto para ti! Historico y tan importante!

Lo has descrito perfectamente: lo sientes. Y cuando se siente, sobran las palabras.

Gracias :))

That looks amazing! That artist on the first photo is something special. What a great painting, right there at the front. :-D

Great post, Isabel!

Thanks so much! I'm so happy you liked it! Cheers!
