Citerne de l’ancienne cité portugaise de la ville d’El Jadida, appelée autrefois Mazagan, à 80 kms au sud de Casablanca et qui faisait partie d’un château construit en 1514 par le Portugal. Au 18ème siècle, les Portugais, défaits par l’armée Marocaine, quittèrent El Jadida. Cette citerne qui fut à l’origine un dépôt d’armes et ensuite un réservoir d'eau de pluie formant un carré de 34 mètres de coté, tomba dans l’oubli jusqu’à un jour de 1916 où un épicier décida d’agrandir son échoppe et tomba sur ce magnifique lieu.
Cistern of the Portuguese city in the town of El Jadida, formerly called Mazagan, 80 kms south of Casablanca, and that was part of a castle built in 1514 by Portugal. In the 18th century, the Portuguese, defeated by the Moroccan Army, left El Jadida. This cistern which was originally a weapon depot and then a rainwater reservoir forming a square of 34 meters wide, fell into oblivion until 1916 when a grocer decided to expand his shop and fell on this beautiful place

Mirai Melody is the look at the future (未来 – Mirai) with respect to the past (過去 Kako). Where two friends filled with mutual passion for old-meets-new. A place where the vibrant colours of the city are wrapped in the soft warm melody of nature.

She was stood in the sunlight, shimmering against the dark mountains behind. I asked her politely to move back from the fence for a cleaner shot, but she hesitated and refused. I might have got over the fence myself and led her away but I still have memories of being bitten by a pony a few years ago when I tried to get it to move into a better position.

The receding water during the beginning low tide rendered it safe to get close to the rocks and capture the dynamics of the moving water. Not long before, massive waves came in at this place. The image shows one of the rock formations extending into the sea which were visible from above in the image which I have shared right before this one.

I have a summer cold so I am posting some images I took few days ago.
Flowers are my wife joy and I have become here resident flower snapper. She asked me to shoot some of her poppies as the sun was full, which is never a good time. I was lucky the poppies were fully cross light and the back ground was in dark shade.

Happy Canada Day, everyone!
This image is called Liberty "II" because I shot this grain elevator back in 2016. Funnily enough, when I got home I realized this is almost the exact same composition (I guess I'm nothing if not consistent) although under different conditions and very different processing. If you've read my blog post about my Saskatchewan trip then you'll remember this is the elevator where the owner gave me a tour inside. What a wonderful treat that was!
Liberty, Saskatchewan, Canada.
I love photographing on the Canadian Prairies and I've been travelling there to do so since 2013. If you'd like to see my other Prairie images, feel free to take a look at the album.
At one time, grain elevators could be found every 8 to 10 miles along every railway line in western Canada. That allowed most farmers to make a round trip to an elevator to deliver and sell their grain with a horse and wagon in one day. From that elevator the grain would be shipped to ports on the Great Lakes or the west coast, across Canada and around the world. Grain elevators started appearing across the Prairies in the late 19th century, and the number of grain elevators peaked in 1938, when there were nearly 6,000 primary (country) elevators in the Prairie provinces. Many factors led to the decline of the primary elevator: the Depression, increased mechanization, improved roads for transportation, rural depopulation, the closing of branch lines of the railway and the buying out or merging of the grain companies and the building of large, concrete grain terminals. In 2023 there were only around 400 country elevators left in Saskatchewan and only about 100 are still in use. Many of the old, wooden elevators have been destroyed – burned down, struck by lightning, demolished - but some of them still remain - weathered but beautiful and stalwart.
