Sue of ‘A word in your ear’ blog, has this week given us the word ‘Vibrant’.
One of the most vibrant countries I’ve ever visited, has to be Morocco. It has been said to be one of the most exotic places in the world. The souks here are a colourful sight, and have an abundance of carpets, traditional dresses and other handicrafts. You can stroll through medieval passages and alleyways, and experience a way of life which has changed little over hundreds of years.
Here are a few photos of some of the vibrant and colourful places and people we saw. Click on any photo to view the gallery.

Nice photos! Tangier looks particularly interesting. I didn’t quite make it there but it looks beautiful.
Thanks, Lance. We were only there for a few hours, but it was lovely to see the architecture, and I loved the blue and white. A bit like Greece. 🙂
I agree with your choice of country, though I have never visited… It has been on my wishlist for years :). Loving all the pics and most of all the ones of you 🙂
Thanks so much, Paula. 🙂
That would have been such a cool place to visit! Hugs to you and have a great week! Hugs Paula xxx

Stunning vibrant shots there AD. I can see you had lots of fun there indeed. 😀 Thanks for sharing hon. *hugs*
Thanks, Sonel. Yes it was a fun holiday. 🙂 Hugs to you too. xx
These are wonderful pictures… the one thing that struck me is no one seems to be overly in a hurry, with a far more casual way of life… no hustle and bustle… looks marvelous…
Yes, it is a very different vibe there. I so enjoyed it.
fun and vibrant post.. i love the dried fruits and nuts.. and the carpets.. i’m sure you had a great time shopping. 🙂
Thanks, Elizz. We didn’t do too much shopping, but did buy a few lovely things to remind us of our visit. 🙂
Just a fabulous post!!
Thanks so much. 🙂
Great pix Sylvia. Morocco is one of the countries I’d really love to visit.
Thanks, Rosie. I hope you do get there one day. 🙂
BEAUTIFUL photographs! They actually hum from all the color and activity.
Thanks Elisa. That’s a very good description indeed. 🙂
Morocco definitely looks vibrant, Sylvia. I love all the markets, from fruits and vegetables to carpets and lanterns. Someday….. 🙂
Yes, it’s a great and exciting country to visit, Cathy. I’m sure you’ll get there before too long. 🙂
I hope so! But probably not for several years!
I’ve never been there, but it sure looks like a place to put in my bucket. It would be fun just to follow in all of your footsteps. I’ve gotten off to a very late start however, and I am not sure that I’d ever finish! 🙂 Fun time. 🙂
Thanks, Marsha. It’s never too late. Hope you get to do Spain and Morocco. You’ll love it. 🙂
Who knows maybe Vince and I will go see Ralph some day! Someone from our family is going over there soon. See a post about it very soon! 🙂
Exotic and vibrant. Lots of blues and aquas with splashes of orange. I must travel there someday.
Thanks, Lynne. Yes, Ron would have a great time with his camera. 🙂
Great pictures and so colorful!
Thanks so much, Meg. 🙂
What an amazing and exotic place Morocco is. The market captures are fantastic – the rugs, the thrones, the vegetables. All the men..crazy stuff ! Hope you felt safe while exploring.
Yes it is, Emily. We felt quite safe, but were told to be careful of pickpockets. Just like anywhere in the world. 🙂
Every one of your posts are vibrant!!!
Thanks, Rebecca. It’s a very vibrant country indeed. 🙂
fabulous shots…looks like an interesting place to visit!
Thanks, Heather. Yes I can thoroughly recommend it. 🙂
Somewhere I’d really love to go, Ad. Great pics! 🙂
Thanks so much, Jo. 🙂
Wonderful selection of photos, Sylvia. You have a great eye!
Thanks so much, Naomi. 🙂
It’s at the top of my list … Right next to Transylvania! I can’t decide. Your photos make me lean toward Morocco…
Ah, Transylvania is a place I’ve never thought of going to. I guess I’m not really a Dracula fan. 🙂
Me neither, but the scenery is supposed to be amazing .
I totally agree with you Sylvia, its one of my favourite places. I’ve eaten in Cafe Argana several times too 🙂
Thanks, Gilly. The bombing there was terrible, but I believe it’s been rebuilt.
Vibrant is the word! These pictures are just beautiful 😀
Thank you, Dianne. It’s a beautiful place to photograph. 🙂
Ah… the places you’ve been and seen. You could write a blog!!! 😀
Hahaha You really think I could, Gunta? 😆
Fantastic views of this amazing place Sylvia!
Thanks so much, Phil. 🙂
I absolutely LOVE Morocco. It is a place that I could spend days in just photographing. Great post! 🙂
Thanks, Nicole. Me too. 🙂
Gorgeous, vibrant shots Sylvia! Brought back fond memories 🙂
Thanks, Madhu. I’m glad they did. 🙂
Red taxis look so strange! The only thing that would have possibly indicated to me that it could be taxis is that there’s so many in that small area
Yes, they are rather different, aren’t they? 🙂
White building with bright blue or teal colors are such contrast. They really bring out the name of Vibrant city.
Thank You. I’m so glad you enjoyed. 🙂
Vibrant indeed AD.
Another place I’d like to go visit for real one day – at least with you in the vicinity I can view it vicariously 😉
This is true, 68, and you’re very welcome to travel with me this way. 🙂
I’m sure SA’s No1 has one of those thrones in his Nkandla multimillion taxpayer paid homestead 😀
At least one, I should imagine. 🙂
