- Yes Mary, I remember these portions of freeway with the sheep and the nanny goats which crossed and walls constructed to prevent also people from crossing and at the same time from hide the slums to tourists. Anyway an opportunity for a funny shot to you, well done !

Hello Mary,
A singular scene of daily life next to the city, I guess you had to stop the car to make way for sheep.
Fantastic perspective and great light.
Best wishes,
Charo

Hi Mary,

Very interesting photo, depicting a funny and dangerous situation that will be recognised by anyone who ever drove in Morocco, even more recently.
I find it very well composed and despite the signs of being a scan of an old film, it has a much acceptable quality. I must say that that I am a bit fascinated by the greenish/brownish appearance of old photos.

I don't think that things changed so much in respect to traffic in Morocco. I was there in 1994 and in 2006 and the main difference is that I didn't see scenes like this one in the new modern tolled highways. Traffic outside cities was still sparse outside cities and a total madness inside them, but that already happened in 1994. As a matter of fact, this is probably the freeway that took me at least 90 minutes to drive, from South Rabat to North Sale in 1994 at the early evening of an August day.

Regards,
José

Hello Mary
Indeed an amusing scene. The young child and the single sheep in the foreground add to the uniqueness of the photo. Although there are some imperfections in this 14 year old slide this is quality contribution to TE. Tfs, Marlene
