...in the butcher's shop!
My apologies to anyone offended by this image - but displaying unrefrigerated carcasses outside the front of butchers' shops is common practice in Morocco
.
This particular shop is in Laattaouia, a town about 100km from Marrakech. The shop had its own barbecue on the pavement and the butchers staff would cook customers' food for a small charge - even food that had been bought elsewhere!.

Just a quick street portrait today. I have always wanted take a portrait of the guys from our local butchers (Ellis Butchers) and today I got the chance. I first started taking pictures as they were working, but then I knocked on the window and motioned to take a picture of them. The not only agreed but were very pleased to be asked.
The key technical part of this shot was to position myself so that the reflections were not obscuring the guys. I also has to move myself slightly to the left for the same reason.
Thanks guys for this portrait.

Whilst most part of the country was experiencing this atmospheric river, I was happy to spend some time in Otago riding the rail trail in (mostly) fine weather. Last night the last of the clouds dissipated for a while which allowed me to spend a couple of hours at the Butchers Dam. I arrived close to midnight, hence it was a bit of a challenge finding a spot to set up.

A longer over due visit to Tudor World in Stratford-upon-Avon. Formerly The Falstaff Experience. It is housed in The Shrieve's House.
It is a paid for attraction on the ground floor and first floor of the house. You get a "passport" which you can put in a box at the end (I got Thomas Cromwell who was executed on orders of King Henry VIII by 1540).
Tudor World at 40 Sheep Street, Stratford-upon-Avon. It was formerly called The Falstaff Experience.

HISTORICAL NOTE: the house belonged to the Guild of Holy
Cross, later to the Corporation; it became known in the C20 as
the Shrieve's House from its 1st recorded tenent, William
Sheryve, 1542; also inhabited by William Rogers, a Sergeant at
the Mace, for whom the house was rebuilt and enlarged after
the fire of 1595, and John Woolmer, the 1st Mayor of
Stratford, 1664. A good example of a late C16 or early C17
yeoman's house retaining its range of outbuildings.
