[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
This is a window of a tower in one ruins mosque, out of the chefchahuen, in fact you can see the town since this window, the view is amazing, that was the reason I took this picture and I want to share with you.
For me Morocco and all the middle east countries has so many things to share, the food is delicious, the poeple is so friendly, the music is so beautiful and ther are a mistery in all this places, that is the reason I like this amazing countries.

Here more information about this city:

Chefchaouen (Arabic: شفشاون‎, Spanish: Xauen) is a town in northwest Morocco.

Chefchaouen is situated in the Rif Mountains, just inland from Tangier and Tetouan. The town was founded in 1471, as a fortress, now called Qassaba (often spelled "Kassaba"), by Moorish exiles from Spain led by Moulay Ali Ben Moussa Ben Rached El Alami to fight the Portuguese invasions of northern Morocco.[1] It was known as one of the main concentrations of Moriscos and Jews who sought refuge in this mountainous city after the Spanish Reconquista in medieval times.[2] In 1920, the Spanish seized Chefchaouen to form part of Spanish Morocco. Spanish troops imprisoned Abd el-Krim in the Qassaba in 1926 after defeating him with the help of the French force. Spain returned the town after the independence of Morocco in 1956

Hi Elias!
Nice capture and a different perspective of Chefchaouen.I like especially this arch of the window, a real Arab arch.
Regards, Anabela

Hola Elias, very good note and spectacular framing. The window is realy beautiful, with its textures and arabic shape, and the lighting is lovely and so well managed here, giving us a good image of the view, without making the inside too dark. Excellent shot!
Um abraço,
Ricardo

Hola Elias
El punto de vista es muy agradable, la forma arabiga de la estructura encaja dentro de una bella composición, dándole la profundidad de campo necesaria. Quizas lo único malo, la tonalidad del cielo, producto de la intensa luz, pero es algo que es dificil de evitar. Buen trabajo.

Elias veo varias ventanas en esta foto. La primera siendo el lente, la segunda las paredes y la tercera la entrada misma. Buena composicion y idea para captar esta escena. La ciudad se ve muy bonita. Me gusta el hecho que contiene muchos edificios bajos y blancos. Muy diferente de los rascacielos que veo cada dia en mi ciudad. Buen trabajo amigo.

Hello Elias,

I like very much this scene from opeing of a minaret. It actually looks very much like the arrow slits in European castles and towers. Excellent note to accompany the well-composed, beautifully exposed photo.

Regards,

Bulent

TFS,
Cath.
