Yelabias (chilabas)drying in the Sun after their owners got back home under a heavy rain in Chefchaouen, Rif Mountains region. It can be quite cold up there in winter,but the clear and cool air are invigorating and mind-clearing.
All the buildings and houses in Chefchaouen are whitewashed, but with a blue nuance added to the white,that making the special feature of the city, that's called "the blue city". Blue is, also, the color of the Bereber nation, that had dwelled there for centuries.
To make this picture, I used a Nikon FM2 with a 20 mm. lens and a polarizing filter to render the colors pure. Film was Kodak Ektachrome EPP 100 Professional.
