God doesn't skimp in colors. There's no place on earth where this is most apparent than in Marrakech. Just standing in this little section of Marrakech I was able to capture this vast array of colors, glorious colors. Morroco is very colorful, even the sun baked clay houses are so beautiful because the clay is so colorful. I was watching a travel show where the Morrocan man was telling that they use the yellow of the saffron, red form the red field poppies, green from mint and blue from the indigo plant. It reminded me of the trip to the Cairo museum where we were told the ancient Egyptians used natural vegetable dyes also. No one mentioned the red from the cochineal insect. Color is such a fascinating subject and so visual also. We passed by one of these colorful buildings and the smell wafting out was so incredible. It was a spice factory.
