Well, so far as I know theyr'e really Morroccan. I snapped this last summer at Epcot in the Morroccan village. It's one of many pics from that vacation taken with the Canon s30. I didn't want to carry a DSLR... and frankly I was glad I didn't. Theme parks and loads of camera just don't mix well, imo.
It was my second time at Epcot, I first visited back in the mid ninety's, and I must say the experience was a lot more enjoyable the first time around. Last years visit was ok but it was plagued by crowds. Lots and lots of people. So many, in fact, that it made moving around the park a full-contact physical chore.
We had a much better time at Busch Gardens. It was busy, but nothing like Epcot. My brother and I took a chance and payed and additional fee to join this guided roller coaster tour for the day, rather than take our chances with the lines... what a deal that turned out to be. It was well worth the cost. Our group wound up being downsized due to a family of "no shows" so was even smaller than normal, and our guide proceeded to put us at the front of the line for every roller coaster there... and they have a bunch of them.
I suppose I'm reminiscing on last years trip because there won't be one this year. (boo-hoo) Besides, I'm overdue for a post again and the month is getting on.

Recently the director of a theme museum asked me to do a shoot for his marketing effort. I've often visited the place (Landis Valley Farm Museum) at off hours to do studies when I am virtually alone.
But that's not what he wants. He's after an incorporation of the happy crowds into the fascination of the extensive collection of buildings, exhibits, performance history, and working artisans. I'll do it of course, but like you, I am instinctively adverse to sullying the details and place with... with.... PEOPLE!!!! Aaargh. And especially strangers.
Your capture here is exquisite in line, tone, shape, and detail. More importantly the color palette of silvers and blacks is astonishing. And yet... I wish you'd shown me more of how to incorporate a place that was made to entertain/instruct/educate people... with people.
You're no help. Just very very good with your camera.

I really like how items made of metal photograph. It is a different look and I like it you may have inspired me to capture a few of my metal objects.
Thank you for visiting my page as it is appreciated.
