The Fishing Fortress of Mogador https://journals.worldnomads.com/newlo/ Sat, 11 Apr 2026 22:50:42 GMT World Nomads Adventures I am by no means a professional, but I believe strongly in the fortune of a moment. In these instances experience and training, albeit very valuable, can be completely irrelevant. I consider myself opportunistic in this sense. Sometimes the most wonderful instances in this world you don't have to look very hard for either - and the characters themselves would consider their own actions most mundane! But these are gold to me. Here is where I get the biggest buzz.. capturing peoples day-to-day dealings, musings, expressions... The extreme bonus is when you are fortunate to capture these expressions somewhere alien - like Essaouira (Mogador) was to me when i was lucky to visit. This ancient walled fortress town both breezes and buzzes. Deep sea fishing is in the blood of all who live here, as I imagine it was in the blood for dozens of preceding generations. At this town the goings-on seemed to be as they would have been 1,000 years ago! The smells the same, and the striking royal blue hues everywhere would have dominated eternally. I love watching people go about their everyday lives - I don't even need a camera! cheers Newlo https://journals.worldnomads.com/newlo/photos/37328/Morocco/The-Fishing-Fortress-of-Mogador Travel Morocco newlo https://journals.worldnomads.com/newlo/photos/37328/Morocco/The-Fishing-Fortress-of-Mogador#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/newlo/photos/37328/Morocco/The-Fishing-Fortress-of-Mogador Tue, 8 Jan 2013 12:32:00 GMT 0
