| Street in Essaouira, Morocco |
This is a photo I took back in April when my friend Deborah and her daughter were visiting from Paris. We spent the day in the coastal town of Essaouira - about a 2 hour drive from Marrakech. If you ever come to Morocco (and you should - it is beautiful, colourful, interesting and a photographer`s paradise) head to Essaouira - put on the map by Jimi Hendrix back in the 1960s, it has a laid back arty ambiance.
The frame within a frame technique is something I shall try out more in my photography.. perhaps using plantation or people as my inner frame next time. Take a look at Kat`s blog. She is an incredible photographer and teacher of e-courses, and organizer of the Liberate Your Art Postcard Swap. I know that 2 of my postcards have arrived at their destinations (both in the US) and I`m still waiting for my first 2 swap postcards to arrive here in Morocco.

Hi, I thought I had already posted this so I hope it doesn't appear twice. Lol
I really like your picture - it really invites you in, if you know what I mean :)
I didn't realise Jimi Hendrix had connections there, you learn something new every day.
This is such a great shot. I want to come to Morocco to meet you first and then go on a photo journey.
I have received 3 postcards from Kat's swap so far and one of mine was acknowledged received in Mexico!
what a great picture. Morocco sounds (and looks) like a fabulous place
beautiful photo. i cannot wait to visit morocco some day.
Hi thanks for the visit. Yes I have to admit the beach was lovely today - just goes to show you don't always have to have sunny weather to enjoy it.

Wonderful photo....it does capture an exotic air!
Morocco has been on my travel list for awhile, and now I will have to move it up in priority.
I love the structural lines you've captured. And the 'action' of the figure in the center to be a focal point. Incredible work.
HIDDEN SAND DOLLAR ...Happy Monday.
Wonderfully framed image Annabella.

Hi, Annbella!
This is a wonderful photo!
Morocco is one of the places I'd like to visit one day and it's not so far away from here (Greece).
Wow - this is a stunning shot!
what a stunning shot! There are so many beautiful and interesting shapes and textures. Your blog has given me such a yearning to travel! I'd love to take part in a swap of some kind, the postcard swap sounds good. I'll keep an eye out for the next one.
Gorgeous...so much to see! This is just so rich in detail; the frame and the light draw you right in!

Lovely photo, I love frames too. Through your blog I am getting an appetite to visit Morocco - it certainly is very picturesque.
talk about perfect match between photograph and prompt. love this shot, Annabella.
This is absolutely gorgeous! I love the way the light shines down and catches the silhouette of the little guy in motion. It draws you in....
I love this photo, it does draw you in through the frame. ANd interesting colours and people in the shot.
I really love the dramatic lighting in this image, your processing really enhanced it. Thanks for linking it in - I hope you'll put it in the Flickr pool! I wish I could have gotten to Morocco while in Europe, I'll just have to make a special trip! I hope your postcards arrive soon. :)
I love this photo, it is filled with possibilities!
There are frames within the frames!
