MOROCCO: PALAIS BAHIA MARRAKECH

On our second full day in Marrakech, we toured Palais Bahia, a popular tourist attraction in the city which was quite crowded at the time of our visit. The palace is of late 19th century construction and is very ornate, particularly its ceilings.  

I have balance problems when I attempt to photograph anything directly overhead, so I found myself sitting (or sometimes lying) on the floor in attempts to photograph ceilings.  Here I am at the foot of our tour director, who may have been wondering what the hell I was doing sitting on the floor.  Even so, I was fairly happy with what I got.

(Beautiful octagonal ceiling.)

(Ceiling with skylight.)

(This last is actually a painted door panel.)
