Meknes
Djellabas in the shadows, Meknes, Morocco pictured on December 22, 2009. The long rays of the evening sun create shadows and silhouettes as people walk through the streets in traditional costume. 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. Picture by Manuel Cohen
