Morocco is home to the fabled city of Chefchaouen the Blue City. This city is actually painted blue and white, it's unbelievable to see. The city was founded in 1471 as a small kasbah by Ali ibn Rashid al-Alami and was built to defend against Portuguese invasions of northern Morocco. The streets are narrow and wind their way up and down the various elevations of the city, with artisans, merchants and restaurants everywhere. Blue, blue and more blue, it is mesmerizing and intoxicating. I happen to the love the color periwinkle, and was so happy to see that some of the walls were painted in that exact shade of blue.

But I didn't want to get just the standard daytime shot of the blue walls, I was hoping for something way more dynamic and unique. This image was taken from an elevated road located on the opposite side of the river that winds its way through the city. This photo provides a deeper view, a snapshot of what the buildings (homes) look like as they cascade down the hillside - you almost feel like you are part of the city. I love this image as it shows details of the various homes, terraces, blue walls, hanging laundry and of course TV dishes - lots of them. This canvas print would make a nice addition to a living room, bedroom or office.
