We Dream Our Dreams Away from duncmc via flickr.

The far distant end of the once grand courtyard in the Bahia Palace, Marrakesh.

Plant On A Pedestal from duncmc via flickr.

Whoever picked the the colour scheme for the Jardin Majorelle in Marrakesh did it with conviction. No muted magnolia or white-with-a-hint-of-something here.

جامع الفناء from duncmc via flickr.

The famous Djemaa el Fna (جامع الفناء in Arabic) in the old medina of Marrakesh. A constant stream of mopeds, taxis and bicycles weave in and and out of this bustling throng of tourists, locals, snake charmers, musicians, hawkers, street sellers and beggars.

Somewhere That’s Green from duncmc via flickr.

Yosemite Valley in July. After Vegas and The Grand Canyon it was a relief to get out of the desert sun and see a bit of greenery.

Power To The People from duncmc via flickr.

The sun was setting as we drove into Mojave after a long day on the road, and the last rays were glinting off the slowly turning blades of the wind turbines up on the hill. By the time we had checked into the hotel and unpacked the bags the best of the light was gone. A quick walk up the road yielded a few shots of the wind farm silhouetted against the final light in the sky.

Shut Up And Let Me Go from duncmc via flickr.

One of several electronic billboards pumping out the latest iPod advert at the Fashion Mall on Las Vegas Strip. The desert heat was practically unbearable, and the Ting Tings on a 20 second loop wore thin pretty quickly. Shut up and let me go – that pretty much sums up Vegas.

Big Wheel, Big Deal from duncmc via flickr.

A view of Santa Monica pier with its distinctive ferris wheel. Probably my favourite shot from those I took while visiting the LA beaches.

Down The Beach from duncmc via flickr.

The beach at Santa Monica, Los Angeles, USA, looking south from the pier. Typically smoggy conditions for the time of day/year.

Hmmm, almost a month since my last post. Tut tut.

Propped Up from duncmc via flickr.

Whilst in Cyprus back in May we spent an afternoon up near Polis in a small village called Latchi. After lunch on the waterfront we walked around the harbour. I knew as soon as I saw this scene that there was a picture to be had, but finding the right crop was trickier than I thought.

All over the island there are small shrines like this one. They can often be seen at the roadside, but this one was at the edge of a field a few minutes walk from the villa where we stayed.
