Out of waste, those two boys created joy in the alleys of Medina. I did get lost in the alleys and sometimes I got scared, when it became dark and quiet, but when I came across those children, I felt very peaceful inside of me. It calmed me down and watching them playing, without a clue of the rules, gave me a great impression of the Lifestyle the families living there. So many different looking Doors, windows, walls and hundreds of different smells, seem to make a fairy tale happen. Each alley seemed to tell a unique story.

The oldest leather tannery in the world, in the labyrinth of Fez Medina. Fez found in the foothills of the North middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Balconies and rooftops, give a great opportunity to take your perfect picture. That is from where I took this photograph. This is usually a place which is always occupied by many workers, and always seem to be hectic and loud. That day I had the chance to take a picture of the mystical side of it, frozen and peacefully quiet - just magical.

I followed a stranger, a mother and her child, chasing through the alleys of love. With distance, I observed how the woman hit a door buckle in a melody as if it was a secret knock, to assure the person on the other side, that it is her who just arrived. As I waited with the mother, the door opened and three kids and two older women stepped out and greeted her and the baby with kisses and hugs. The sense of warmth and love raised and then they all disappeared behind that black metal door. All the sudden it was quiet again….
