Cascades

Last night was quite cool in the square. At sundown they began filming an arabic music video. Film crew, lights, big red carpet, band, 5 dancers and a beautiful moroccan girl (the singer). I had seen them filming earlier in the day at the souqs but at the time i had no idea what was going on. I actually got a picture of the girl during the day thinking she was some kind of movie star.

Today, i took an organized trip to Les Cascades d'Ouzoud, about 160km west of marrakesh. The waterfalls were some of the nicest i've ever seen, hiking was light but quite good. At the hottest point in the day, i took a dip in a natural pool (fed by the waterfall). Oh, i also ran into a group of monkeys...they were very keen on getting their pictures taken...i got some nice close-ups with my 50mm. Tomorrow im using the same tour company to cross over the Atlas mountains.

I hate when tourists ruin a nature pic.
