Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, a character

The Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, who ruled Morocco from 1672 to 1727, was built in the 17th century. It was a beautiful complex both inside and out, with its several courtyards, burial chamber, ablutions room, fountain and marvelous tile work and doors.

This man was out in front trying to get people take his picture, for a fee. I don’t normally like such things, but his costume was over the top and he was quite engaging, so I relented and gave him a few coins, and this is what I got. I sure thought his shoes and socks were interesting with that getup!

Three fountains outside the mausoleum, posted earlier:

This man is very multicolored... He does not seem very authentic, he is too much !

He sure does look like an eccentric character in his costume, Helen. Worth a few coins to get this shot of him! V

He's quite the character especially with his business shoes and "stylish" costume! A fun shot. V

A colourful character, and I am sure he sounds as loud as his clothes.
