Traffic Jam by judithg

Traffic Jam

A shameless filler and, sadly, too old for the theme but I couldn't resist it. Even on much narrower lanes than this one in Marrakech we would have to move over for cycles, motorbikes and donkeys pulling carts. The cart at the end of this road was possibly being a little over-optimistic. Bad news on the shoulder front - it's worse (clearly I need another holiday) - rather frustrating as the 'rest cure' is not at all practical.
PS SOOC and more detail if you view large :0)
Lovely shot

Great street shot. Lots of detail and interest. So good to see these shots from places that you have never and maybe never will see.

Wonderful! I always worry about the donkeys. I am a great supporter of the charity Brooke. Great atmosphere of this alley way.

@Cherrill I worried about the donkeys too - particularly the ones working on building sites but I didn't see anybody beating or overtly mistreating one - but they have to work hard.

A fav for me for sure. I am so glad you are still posting Morocco photos. I love them. This has so much life and even a bike though I can hardly call it ELB! So sorry to hear re your shoulder. You and I seem to be neck and neck in the recovery realm.

Lovely street shot. Hope you shoulder feel better soon!

Looks like a fascinating place to visit. I envy their sunshine but not a lot else!

@jgpittenger Glad you spotted the bike! I switched to old mopeds for most 'bike' shots though!

Love the lighting in this shot - there's so much going on! Hope you get some relief from your shoulder pain soon!

Great street scene. I'm worried about the Donkey too though. It looks so cute but skinny.

@fueast They seemed to be very fond of their donkeys - I ventured to stroke one or two but was driven back by the whiff....

@judithg I would expect nothing less!
February 28th, 2012  
Great to be able to see this.....fabulous!
February 28th, 2012  
Interesting street shot ... and such a collection of wheels. Fav!

They all seem to be being very good natured about the jam.
Reminds me about this incident a few years ago http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/6623901.stm I just loved the quote that the driver had got lost!
February 28th, 2012  
Lots to look at, great travel shot!
February 28th, 2012  
So much activity, wonderful street shot!
February 28th, 2012  
Great shot - I'm sorry that your shoulder isn't really any better. Hope it feels better soon
February 28th, 2012  
Fun to view large - so much to see!!! AND a bicycle!
February 28th, 2012  
A great couple of iconic characters in this shot! Super street scene.

February 28th, 2012  
Fabulous shot! So much to look at. I love the donkey and his expression :oD
February 28th, 2012  
Wonderful shot!
February 28th, 2012  
Fab street shot, so much to look at.
February 28th, 2012  
What a wonderful street scene! Love the light! Sorry about your shoulder - hope it will get better in time. They do have a tendency to take a long time to recover unfortunately
February 28th, 2012  
great shot!
February 29th, 2012  
What a terrific capture!
February 29th, 2012  
That would be so perfect for the theme - what a shame. A great insight into another culture!
February 29th, 2012  
Great street scene
February 29th, 2012  
Again this photo reminds me of Saudi , I can just imagine this scene with them all shouting at each other to get out of the way. Although the pace of life is slower. wonderful capture.... so sorry to hear your shoulder is painful, I wonder if its to do with the change of weather my Knees are very painful at the moment
February 29th, 2012  
Cool street scene 1 donkey power cart :D
February 29th, 2012  
great street shot - really like it - and bah blah bleurgh to the shoulder issues...rest is dull and boring but maybe necessary - unless of course you can convince Nigel to take you on a 2 month holiday!!
