Well, to be accurate its from the rooftop two doors down. I had the idea, took the steps upstairs to my terrace, put them on the ledge, climbed to the top step……and bottled climbing over the parapet onto the roof! Then I remembered my neighbours roof terrace.
The Mosque (pronounced mos-key) you see in the foreground was being built when I first arrived here to live. One day walking to the shops I was horrified to see them painting the Minaret with one painter dangling down out of the top window, while another man inside held onto his ankles.
I have a useless sense of direction, but I think thats looking south, the sea is across town to the right-hand side of the picture.
A friend found an old map of Agadir from 1978. I think its fair to say that the whole picture would have been empty. My, Agadir, how you’ve grown.
I am contributing to #sixwordsaturday pop over and have a look
Beautiful Photo but can’t you find someone else to climb up other peoples roof’s. ???????? Xxxxx
Great picture, good job you are tall, xxx
Beautiful backdrop – the colour of that sky is gorgeous!… I would love to visit Morocco, tis somewhere I haven’t been yet!
The tourist books say we have sun over 300 days a year….I’ve never had the patience to prove or disprove it
Phototastic!
Thank you, I am quite suurprised I got it in the middle tbh, photography not being one of my talents….

much love…
Thank you I’ll take a look
It must have been interesting watching the city grow 🙂
and growing still Jo, there used to be a real gap between Agadir and Bensergeo, the next village, now its pretty much completely filled. Still, lots of work on construction!
This was a very interesting post. Thank you for sharing it.
Wonderful view! Thanks for sharing it with us.
The photo is beautiful: the blue sky, the Mosque, and tropical plants– they all look beautiful.
Have a great week.
Thank you, you too
