Capturing moments in Marrakesh with my camera, I could not get over the color, elaborate detail work, lush gardens and play of light over it all. There are beautiful hand - crafted details all over Marrakesh- too many to catch everything on film. Lush gardens bursting with color, painted buildings in saturated colors , intricate handwork on any number of surfaces, the amazing light. Just some of the things that made Marrakech magical.

The gardens at La Mammounia before sundown
Monochromatic white pierced lanterns hanging in Moor, a French inflected fashion and home boutique in Gueliz
Dinner at La Pause in the desert
The mixed-up boldly patterned tile floors at Popham Design
The vivid bouganvelia and saturated yellow pots at the divine Majorelle Gardens
The riad Maison D'Arab
Riad Monceau where our small group dinner were held
A carved archway
Pierced lanterns at the entry of the dining room at Maison D'Arab's restaurant, glowing at night
A decorative painted ceiling and elaborate brass lantern at our hotel, The Sofitel
