Hello Iain,
The donkey is not well looked after I fear and looks rather forlorn. Nevertheless, this is an interesting and well presented daily life composition. There is an interesting juxtaposition between the three human protagonists with expressions to match. I like the palette of harmonious tones,

Allτ Lain!
Une scθne intιressante que j'ai dιjΰ vu dans les pays du Sud mais qui attire toujours l'attention. Je ne sais pas si les couleurs de presque sιpia sont rιelles mais j'aime bien. La scθne est bien composιe et bien animιe avec les personnages en pleine conversation et l'βne qui semble ΰ bout de souffle.
Tous mes compliments et bonne fin de semaine,
Emilius

Hello Iain,
Excellent, almost monochrome, photo of drab daily life in Marrakech. Wish I knew what the conversation was about. One can only wonder. And the poor dirty donkey needs a good scrub what with it having to function in such a wet and muddy environment. A revealing image.

Hi Iain,
The colour harmony is very good in this picture! The meeting between old and modern vehicles is quite well captured here. This is a very fine and interesting photo!
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hello Iain,

I love this one, if only for it gives us insight into life in places where people are less forunate than ourselves.

I really do feel for that poor donkey. And, am I right (as a retired surgeon I'm still quite observant) in thinking that this poor beast's rear offside (or nearside in Morocco, I suppose!) leg has been damaged and is wizened and useless, so the poor animal is essentially three-legged? It looks just so very, very sad and I think, in this country at least, it should end up enjoying its last few years in a sanctuary where it can have some happy times before its eventual demise.

And I wonder what these chaps are talking about all the time this poor beast is suffering?

This might not be your sharpest or best exposed or best composed photograph, Iain, but it is beautifully poignant and I love it!

A great insight into true life in Marrakech!

Wonderful!

Kind Regards,

John.

Nice tribute to an old hard working donkey, Iain, though I assume the animal itself doe's not know it's status...
The people in a mids of a conversation is a fine addition here.
Have a nice weekend,
Ike
