Fragrant Oils, by Nilla Palmer

Meandering down the passageways of Chefchaouen in the subdued dusk, the fragrant scent of oils captured my attention until stumbling upon its source; a tiny shop, laden with sacks of spices and jars of colourful oils. Using the doorway instead of a tripod for this photo, I captured a row of fluorescent backlit jars standing silently, which provided a luminous warm glow for the shop’s interior walls.
