Lemgharba, a photo from Marrakech, South

Photographer's Note

Arabic: Lemgharba -- are a people that share a common Moroccan culture and ancestry.

Morocco is a country with a multiethnic society and a rich culture, civilization, and etiquette. Throughout Moroccan history, Morocco has hosted many peoples, in addition to the indigenous Berbers, coming from the East (Phoenicians, Arabs), South (Sub-Saharan African), and North (Romans, Vandals, Spanish-Andalusians both Muslims and Jewish). All of these have left an impact on the social structure of Morocco. It has also hosted many forms of beliefs, from Paganism, Judaism, Christianity to Islam. Each region possesses its own uniqueness, contributing to the national culture. Morocco has set among its top priorities, the protection of its diversity, and the preservation of its cultural heritage.

Ola Rui, Excellent daily life scene from Morocco. Five men in traditional dresses (and shoes) but all different colours and expressions. I like it very much.

Marvellous shot Rui of these wise , old men. I assume age brings wisdom, excluding the politicians. Wonderful study of human nature and interaction, including interaction with the photographer. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi Rui
I love this picture of five elderly gents but somehow it seems unreal.Is it by any chance a `put up` picture?I apologise if not, but I still like it!
Well Done!
T.F.S.

Hello Rui,
This is an interesting and very attractive photo. The five elderly men are all totally differently dressed, giving them strong individual characters, also benefitting the colour photo. They are well placed against the neutrally coloured wall. On each side of the bench two men are engaged in conversations. Only the man in the middle seems left out and is instead looking straight at you. The green man glances at you while talking to his yellow friend. It's a clear and bright and well composed photo and the sculptured "balls" on the ground gave you a fine diagonal.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Rui,

You was on a extraordinarily place were these men sit quiet to speak, about what, nobody know!
A nice portrait picture.

Very well done, TFS.

Kind regards,
John

Ola Rui,
In hebreww we call those men "corner- sitters", and it doe's looks just like the term.
Yet, beautiful set of different clothings each one of them has a unique dress.
Fine taken street scene.
Boa tardes e um feliz ano novo,
Ike
