Focus On: The Passages of the Old Medina (Updated and Bumped)

(26 Nov 12) - All right Sports Fans, in lieu of me continuing to drag on publishing the remainders of the SecState visit, I thought it best to plow ahead with some other content while I wait for my muse to catch up to me. I published the below some time ago with the expectation that I'd have enough photos for a second post on the passages. Turns out, not so much. So, in a bold and decisive decision, I've just updated and reposed this post. Enjoy.


I can't say that it was a conscious decision - going in at least - to focus on the passageways in the old Medina of Fes, but it was obvious to me soon after my arrival that I was drawn to them. After a day or so, I began to seek them out - the more mysterious, the better. I like the feeling of claustrophobia I get while looking at these, although I should say that I never really felt it while wandering the Medina. I never thought that it was THAT hard to navigate (although I did get turned around a few times) but your mileage might vary.
