The Last One Standing

I like ruins because what remains is not the total design, but the clarity of thought, the naked structure, the spirit of the thing - Tadao Ando. Remains of a jetty located in a former military complex (part of the Atlantic wall) used during the WW2 in Casablanca.

Late Afternoon In The Valley

One sees great things from the valley; only small things from the peak - Gilbert K. Chesterton. Marrakech is a stunning city full of landscapes and natural mountains. One of the greatest natural sightseeing spots is Ourika Valley located 30 km south of Marrakech. The Ourika Valley lies in the first foothills of the High Atlas, a beautiful expanse of luxuriant green with its adobe villages clinging to the mountainsides. It can be enjoyed in both summer and winter months, making it one of Morocco’s year round natural attractions.

Edge

In the heart of the Moroccan High Atlas, the transhumant Berber tribes have built amazing granaries. Most of them take the form of fortresses and some others are hung half-way up vertiginous cliffs. Structured by social practices, these practical facilities were used for the protection of meager wealth and cultural. Nowadays, they have lost their functional utility. Dated of the 17th century, the granaries of Aoujgal are built at mid-height on a cliff of more than 300 m and stretch over two kilometers along a narrow terrace.

A Day In The Atlas

All mountain landscapes hold stories: the ones we read, the ones we dream, and the ones we create - Michael Kennedy. Nested in the central High Atlas, El Attach river surroundings, a gem preserved from the mass-tourism, offer spectacular landscapes besides their rich heritage and culture.

Red Dao Home

The Red Dao people belong to the family of the Dao ethnic group, officially called Yao worldwide. The Yao ethnicity is the second biggest ethnic minority in Vietnam with a population of 750,000 people, just behind the H’mong. They are well known in the Sapa area for their terraced fields, big markets (including the “love” market), and romantic love songs that echo over the mountains. There are a lot of love stories about the Red Dao couples crossing many mountains, rivers, and forests to be together. The Red Dao typically build houses that are rectangular and are constructed using wood and bamboo. Each dwelling normally has three rooms: a living room and two dormitories on the sides. Each room will have a small oven for cooking.

The Path Of Light

The Retreat

The city reveals the moral ends of being, and sets the awful problem of life. The country soothes us, refreshes us, lifts us up with religious suggestion - Edwin Hubbel Chapin. Equal parts idyllic countryside town and wilderness escape, Yangshuo looks like it came right off of a postcard. Within the town itself, visitors are usually relieved to find that noise and air pollution are very low, and that the clean streets make for a pleasant daytime stroll. But while a wander around the town centre is a nice way to spend a day or two, the main reason visitors head to Yangshuo is to embark on journeys further into its scenic outskirts. A perfect place to explore by bike, boat and foot, the Yangshuo countryside promises a perfect backdrop of massive karsts, caves, rivers and mountain temples and offers an good opportunity to witness the authentic lifestyle of people living in South China's countryside.
