The old walled Moroccan city of Essaouira still retains its 18th century character. Orson Welles filmed "Othello" on these walls in 1949. In this case, I wanted to put a group of buildings into a context that gives it a sense of place. The hint of blue fishing boats filling the foreground layer of the image does just that. The pastel colors of dawn define both ramparts and buildings in an atmospheric manner.
