Views of Essaouira, Morocco

ESSAOUIRA, MOROCCO - MAY 10 : A long side view from the Skala on May 10, 2009 in Essaouira, Morocco. Crumbling walls have turned from white to brown. With blue painted windows the old walls by the ramparts soak up the spring sun, its low rays casting a heavy shadow across the scene. Essaouira, on the windswept Atlantic coast of Morocco, was re-built in the 18th century by French architect Theodore Cornut to the orders of Sultan Ben Abdullah. Surrounded by ramparts it is a charming small town now becoming more popular with tourists. (Photo by Manuel Cohen)
