The finger wag. by jgoldrup

The finger wag.

At the Mausoleum of Mohammed V in Rabat, this royal guard didn't like me trying to get a sneaky shot of him 'off guard'. There is no restriction on photography at the shrine, but I imagine they get just a wee bit tired of it. And wagging your finger at tourists must be more fun than just standing there not talking or smiling. Inside the mausoleum lie the tombs of the current king's grandfather (Mohammed V), father (King Hassan II) and uncle (Prince Abdellah). The current king, Mohammed VI, has reigned since Hassan II died in 1999.

cool - I didn't have to wait long for Morocco, I've had a few finger waggles over the years, a few "NO PHOTO" too, in Cairo the policemen at the railway station followed me around to ensure I didn't take any shots (but were pretty friendly about it)

this is a fav for me, great sense of cold marble on a hot day for me, I could imagine it completely, nice composition.
