Moments in Morocco

Posted on the 16 September 2011 by Exceedpossibility @exceedpossible
Back in June my friend Henry and I spent two weeks in Morocco; we trekked in the Atlas mountains, climbing Mt. Toubkal, and spent some time on the beach. Here are a selection of pictures I took! (Click them to see a larger, better image)
Moments in Morocco An evening in Marrakech
Moments in Morocco The beautiful, and mighty, Atlas Mountains
Moments in Morocco Smelly socks and damp boots taking a rest after day one.
Moments in Morocco A man gazes over the hill side fields
Moments in Morocco A quick wash in one of many beautiful waterfalls in the Atlas Mountains
Moments in Morocco Henry (right) and I posing next to said waterfall!
Moments in Morocco Our guide leads the way up Mt. Toubkal - plenty of snow to contend with (in JUNE!)
Moments in Morocco Our first sighting of the top of Toubkal - covered in scree and patches of snow
Moments in Morocco The summit - littered, gratified and with a silly monument but worth the walk!
Moments in Morocco What a view... if you ignore the graffiti 
Moments in Morocco Henry (right) and I on the summit!
Moments in Morocco Henry on the snow covered, well trodden, descent
Moments in Morocco A welcome rest in Essouira 
Moments in Morocco Birds watch the sunset too!
Moments in Morocco The cannons that once defended this mighty fortress
Moments in Morocco Two locals frolicking in the sea, going by what we saw they were probably sniffing glue!
Moments in Morocco A couple share a moment next to the crashing waves
Moments in Morocco The daily crowd sitting on the sea wall for the evening, probably being poo'd on by a bird!
Morocco really was a great country, the Atlas Mountains in particular. Thanks to www.tourdust.com for the incredible trek!
