A truly unique experience. My very first day ever in Africa and Morocco took me to places that looked straight out of a film. The old Mercedes vans from the 1970s with those Moroccan tapestries and beads at the front made me feel like I was driving straight into a movie. I took this photo while driving, which only enhances the movement and the feeling of driving yourself through the Rif mountains.
When I think of Africa, I think of this photo. Rugged, colourful, not what you expect but also what you do and making the best of what is there.
The feeling of the open meadow world and not knowing what to expect, that there is still so much to see, experience and discover, that is what is centrally reflected in this photo.
To me, this photo means getting out of your comfort zone, deepening self-confidence and most importantly making the most of life by going Solo to africa/ Marroko. Truly the favourite photo of 2024!
