In an ancient town in
Morocco a yearly festival is the time for some families to show off
their best horses. Families come from villages all over northern
Morocco and although I was too late for the races I still had time
to photograph the end of the day, when the horses were being put
back on the trucks ready to start the journey back home. It had
recently rained which made the large grounds appear unusual, being
right in between the old Medina and the new part of the town.The
horses were tired, yet nervous because of the wind that was blowing
strongly and they looked out of the trucks almost displaced. On that
special day, amid shouts, general exhaustion, the wind and an
overall sense of hurry, the horses appeared to me particularly fine
and all enduring creatures. |
