On each and every day I get to experience here in Morocco and the Atlas mountains it still amazes me how saturated the colors are. The deep blue skies, the red rock, the orange-yellow glow in the sun rays and occasionally the pure white snow, everything just seems more colorful, more out of the ordinary than everywhere else I´ve been on adventures.

When you scrutinize the pattens in the hillsides and rock-faces it makes you aware of just how massive forces must have been involved when the shifting of the tectonic plates, and series of massive volcanic eruptions originally created, folded and molded these hugely impressive and spectacular structures.

I take great pleasure in roaming these tracks during the cold and depressing Scandinavian winter-time. This is truly my Africa, this is my true love.
