The very typical Moroccan village of Ighir n Tizgui. Square red houses with red rocks behind, contrasted against lush greens and the paler colours of the dry river bed. Anti-Atlas, Morocco

One advantage of the recent rain was the clear air. From this fine viewpoint we could clearly see the snow covered High Atlas on the left horizon, around 125km distant. Anti-Atlas, Morocco.

Well it was quite a fine viewpoint!

A doorway to start the set and another to end. This looks to me a bit like something from Indiana Jones, but it is actually a doorway within a fortified granary (agadir) in the town of Anammet. Anti-Atlas, Morocco.

Not quite enjoying the view from the top of Jebel Aklim. It was very wet and quite cold. The summit is a plateau so finding a bit of shelter for refreshment wasn't that easy. It was also a challenge for our GPS-less guides who weren't used to navigating in very poor visibility. But with a few minor detours it wasn't long before we were descending to more hospitable climes and some mint tea!

Some valuable brushwood makes its way up a rocky path to the village in the next valley. I know whose job I would have! Anti-Atlas, Morocco.

Photography in this lunar landscape is difficult, especially in full sunlight. You just have to try make the most of any rock forms and colours. Moroccan Anti-Atlas

Our approach to the formidable looking ramparts of Jebel Aklim, at 2531m the high point of our trek. At the time I don't think we realised how ominous the clouds were - after all this is Morocco and it hardly ever rains! Anti-Atlas mountains, Morocco

Not an especially photogenic village, but it did have some quite impressive terracing. Moroccan Anti-Atlas

A quite substantial valley opens up, sheltering the village of Irtem - a patch of green amongst the harsh red rock. The backdrop to the village shows some quite dramatic rock folding. Anti-Atlas, Morocco.

I can't recall if we saw many cats in M'dint Oumouch but we did have some attractive evening light at our camp site. The conical shaped peak is Adrar Kims - said to resemble a tajine pot. Anti-Atlas, Morocco.

Looking back from the col above the village of Tagragra, our camp of the previous day. Anti-Atlas mountains, Morocco

This is pretty smart for a Moroccan village - obviously the home of someone of some importance. Amal village, Moroccan Anti-Atlas
