During our visit to roaring Marrakesh in Morocco we had a break in a beautiful, silent and almost serene garden. A combination of an open air museum, a botanical garden, and an architectural exibition. An experience.

Jardin Marjorelle
Jacques Majorelle is born in 1886 in Nancy (France). In 1919 he settles in Marrakech to continue his career of painter, where he acquires a ground which was going to become the Majorelle garden. Since 1947 he opens his garden's doors to the public. Following a car accident, he returns to france, where he dies in 1962. in 1980 Pierre Bergé and Yves Saint Laurent repurchase the garden and restore it.

Contrasts, the colors, the light games seem go out of one of the pictures of Jacques Majorelle. It was one of the more important collectors of plants of his era, and this is in this spirit than enlarges itself from day to day the flore of the garden. Plants of the five continents are exposed in an enchanting framework. This that was the workshop of Jacques Majorelle, inspiration place and of contemplation, shelters today the magnificent art collection Islamic of Pierre Bergé and Yves Saint Laurent. The originality of these places lies in the combination of a luxurious végétation and architectural elements allying sobriété and traditional aesthetic Moroccan. The power of the blue Majorelle participates in the freshness impression and of quiétude.

A bout du chemin, la célèbre couleur, le "Bleu Majorelle.
J'aime beaucoup les ombres des palmiers sur le chemin de sable et la perceptive en profondeur que donne l'angle de prise de vue de celui-ci.
Bravo, TFS

Hi Marcel,

Not a fan of the frame, imho.

Hi Marcel,

Very special picture you present here! I'm most impressed by the colours. It's an interesting composition also, with lots of lines in it. And you can see the nice result of Neat Image very well here!
It has a little bit much blue, though. That's no real problem, but the colours blue are very different. So I thought: let's try another frame (See WS).
But anyhow: I like the shot! Have fun around ;)
TFS, Darlene.
