Off to Market, by Nilla Palmer
Our mini bus paused near Quarzazte in the High Atlas Mountains for a short break of mouth-watering Moroccan orange cake and tea. This town is home to many Berbers, whose hospitality is both warming and enchanting. Scenes such as these two women guiding their mule whilst travelling along a dusty road to market surround you…

Nilla Palmer’s natural desire to travel and photograph many parts of the world started 27 years ago. Although her photography addiction first started with a 110mm film camera, then progressing to 35mm cameras, a photography course, which included B&W darkroom techniques, and recently digital cameras. Nilla captures whatever strikes her at a precise moment but strives for images that will etch in people’s minds. Nilla’s intent is to reveal a story through her images for an audience, which she hopes inspires and encourages people to visit far off lands. She invites everyone to enjoy her gallery and feel free to contact her with any comments.

Thank you!
Excellent composition from Nilla!
Nilla has really chosen another winning shot! Just love the contrast of the native dress color against the stark background of the mountains as the women make their arduous trek.
