Description

In Marrakech you can visit these open spaces where artisans still dye the leathers of the animals for making bags, jackets... It's a nice visit, the guide gave us fresh mint to breathe as the odour is really disgusting! Some people can't stand more than 30 seconds here, so take the photo and run!!

I love the idea of you weaving in and out of the vats to make a quick getaway! This is a lovely composition which reminds me of an old painting.

C'est une des places les plus intessantes que j'aimerais visiter parce j'adore les manteaux de cuir pour en avoir moi-me trois et une peau de renanrd et de coyotte! Mauvaises odeurs..pas bien grave. Excellente photo :)

the same applies here as my comment on your post yesterday. Ladies or men, the next time you buy a leather product think of these people putting their lifes in danger to bring those products to the market place. you have really been traveling Mary , from Moscow now Morroco. thanks for sharing your treks
