Moroccan desert!

xpsal · 06-22-2005, 04:43 AM

These are some pictures of the moroccan desert which has a special beauty and charm along with other types of weather existing in Morocco!
normally this kind of weather will only be found in the south of Morocco, because the middle and the north of Morocco has a different kind of weather, that I may post in a different thread.
I will be happy to answer any comment!

1. The first two pictures is speical because it is coastal desert, in China there are many desert in the northwest, but they are inland deserts, it is the first time that I see the desert by the sea.

2. The third picture is a handsome man in desert, is that you?

3. The fourth picture, the two big stones are like a door opened to the far, snowmountain.

4. Low houses at the foot of snowmountains. This scene is general in Chinese Northwest--Xinjiang, where the people is also arabic, and the landform is also desert. And I can notice that the style of housemaking is the same. Of same color, some simplicity and same location, I have seen that!

5. The two men's clothes are colorful comparative to the orange sandy background, very good, maybe the color of sandy desert adds their orange face color!

6. I heard that Indian plays snake, but so does Arabic? is snake-palying very popular all through the countries tropical?

7. A black-dressed man is eye-catching in the picture, does black have more meanings than just clothes, is it a symbol of dignity, class of society, age or something else?

8. A boy baby on his sister or mother's back, but the carrier is too young, does your Moroccan people marry young?

9. Also low houses at foot of mountains, I know people there drink water melt from the snow of mountain top, they raise cattle and sheep, rarely grow grains, because the soil is unfertile, and rain is scarce.

Interesting questions pluiepoco!
let me see what I can answer:
-your first note about the desert by the sea exist in Morocco, but the two pictures you were referring to are just small lakes and not sea.
-it's not me in the third picture, otherwise I would have mentioned it

-the blue dress is more popular in the desert than the white one, though the white dress relfex more sunlight than the blue dress, but still you can see the blue dress more often.
-Yeah, here in Morocco you may come across people playing with cobras and other kind of snakes, especially in Marakkesh, Meknes...
-About the black color, I don't think it has any meaning considering the class of society, or dignity... at leat not that I know of, I think he just chose that color because he liked it or something...
-I'm sure that the boy is the brother of that lillte girl, he cannot be her son, she is too young, here in Morocco the average age for marriage is 32 for males and 28 for females, before people used to get married at the age of 20 for males and 16 or 15 for girls, but that was long time ago when life was simple
