Magic Windows

The top photo is from last summer's summer rental outside Essouira.
The whole house had weird colors but bags of charm.



The picture below is one of my favorite photos of our little house.
When we arrived all the windows were yellow glass with a design in it.
Plain glass is much prettier and multicolored more exciting.
So I went up to the glass cutters and had them cut me lots of panes of pure colored glass.
The bathroom walls were pink tadellakt (sort of polished plaster).
The reflctions change during the course of the day.

Derb Dabachi


Derb Dabachi is rather a gritty street that leads north away from Place Djemma Elfna.
Here rather modest dress shops sit beneath satellite dishes.



Outside the dress shop on the corner of Derb Djedid, a young boy sweeps the street while the figures in the glass case seem to wait quietly with their hands folded........



This is the window of the local pharmacy where I got our prescriptions filled.
The people in the pharmacy were very friendly and charming.
I like the picture of the arteries and the veins.
