Ouarzazate from duncmc via flickr.
The main square in Ouarzazate, central Morocco. The brooding skies soon opened. Overnight the torrential rain led to flash flooding, washing out bits of road for miles around.

En route from Marrakesh to Ouarzazate via the highest moutain pass in Morocco – the Tizi-n-Titchka pass through the High Atlas. The GPS clocked an altitude of 7322 feet at the highest point.

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.
