This picture was taken in Salé, a city in Morocco. The image shows part of an old mud city wall. The wall features battlements, which stand out clearly against the clear blue sky. The warm colour of the wall contrasts nicely with the fresh green of the grass in the foreground. In the grass is a small tree. The tree casts a shadow on the ground, creating a graphic play of light and shape.
The city wall in Salé is built of traditional materials such as clay and stone, as you often see in Moroccan architecture. The structure is simple but clearly shows the historical character of the city. The combination of wall, tree and shadow makes this picture a minimalist image. Each element has its place, without much distraction.
The botanical presence of the tree adds a lively element to the otherwise tranquil scene. Images like this, where nature and architecture come together, are typical of many places in Morocco. The photo invites us to contemplate the simple interplay of city and nature, in a landscape that feels at once ancient and alive.
