Morocco – Part 3
Third day of our Moroccan road trip started out with breakfast in the Dar Ziryab (http://www.darziryab.com/en/) in Fes.

Ceuta at Night This was the last night in Ceuta and after a late dinner I wandered the city looking for the light of the night. This is something that I already loved doing, and since the Morocco trip I have found that I love photographing cities in the early morning and late evening light […]
