Portals of Essaouira, Morocco - Every Door A Painting

Sometimes words are not necessary. The visuals are enough. Such is the case with this post. While roaming the deep funnel alleys of the medina in Essaouira, Morocco, I was constantly stopped in my tracks by the age old doorways, often hammered together over decades.

Each door could inspire a hundred paintings alone - the pentimenti of history, scraped and excavated by time and weather and human touch.

I hope you enjoy this gallery and find inspiration where you can.
