MOROCCO, November 2016's destination, is a land of varied climatic zones: Mediterranean, Atlantic, Rif, Middle Atlas Mountains, High Atlas Mountain, Sahara Desert. Whew, more than four weeks can cover.
Picture
The route was a well traveled one, starting in Casablanca, then, clockwise, staying on the water side of the mountains (no Sahara).
​
Picture
In Casablanca, a cafe was a perfect place...
​
Picture
...to start, over coffee, juice and pastries, planning the days ahead.

Picture
Not sure what this is about, but can be taken as an example of how welcoming Moroccans, even the King, are.
​
Picture
Underscored by these two ladies at a hotel reception desk.
​
Picture
The Hassan II Mosque, with National flags out front, provided a good starting point.
​
Picture
Picture
Picture
Good enough to go back and shoot again at night!
​
Picture
Got some contrast at the mid-50's church, Notre Dame de Lourdes, with its wonderful art glass.
Picture
Of the many Art Deco era buildings, the Villa de Arts (former residence, now gallery) was the best.
​
Picture
As for the objects on display, well, "the eye of the beholder...".
​
Picture
An equally grand Art Deco piece is this 1923 railroad station. It shares downtown railroad station activity with...
Picture
...the ultra-contemporary Casa Port, totally rebuilt, opening in 2014.
Picture
 A tram travels through city center, heading southwest through downtown, ...
Picture
... and expanding residential districts, to ....
Picture
...the Atlantic at Ain Diah. Being "winter" sweaters not bikini's were seen, and empty chairs with bored attendants the norm.
​
Picture
And, oh yes, there are shopping souks, such as this one, in Quartier Habours.
Picture
Picture
Although the railroad rolling stock looked comfy and swift, they did not service the next destination....
​
Picture
...but buses did. This Casablanca station introduces... 
Picture
...the friendly cats of Morocco and...
Picture
...the swift, new, comfy buses of CTM.
