Morocco 1

So this is the first of probably many posts on animals from Morocco. I have to say that for being there only for a week it is amazing how much diversity I was able to witness. It was truly a great visit to a marvelous country. We visited mostly the north of the country landing in Nador in the north east. From there we visited towns and cities like Meknes, Fez, Guercif, Taza, Azrou, and smaller towns on the way. We passed everything from scorching dessert lands with 40 degrees to high mountain passes with cooler air. Were also houses were built to handle snow in the winter.   

Beautiful desert landscape close to Guerzif, with temperatures above 40 degrees in mid day.

Landscape photo up in the mountains where the sheep were grazing next to a cedar tree forest.

Like churches in Europe there is not a single village or a small place without a mosque. Even in the most remote areas with around 5 houses there would be a mosque. And every larger city had lots of them.  This is one of the nicer one in the city of Azrou. Here mostly interesting for the cool colony of Herons in a nearby tree. This one was taken from a table with a timer, and with my Tamron 28-300. Not easy to get as it is nighttime with passing cars and hence changing lights. Well I will upload some more landscapes with my other photos but it is about the bugs and animals. I will also distinguish from desert habitat and more humid areas to mountain habitat.
