Meknes
Evening walker, Meknes, Morocco pictured on December 22, 2009. In a shady street the long rays of the evening sunshine outline a shadowy figure walking through light towards darkness. Meknes, one of Morocco's Imperial cities, was redeveloped under Sultan Ismail Moulay (1634-1727). It is a fortified city built from pise, or clay and straw, and was designed to be the political capital of Morocco, as opposed to Fez, the religious capital. This 18th century gem is well worth visiting. Picture by Manuel Cohen
