PHOTOS: Magical Moroccan Doors

November 13, 2012

“Once upon a time, a little girl was raised by monsters. but angels burned the doorways, and she was all alone.”  — Laini Taylor, Daughter of Smoke & Bone

One of my favorite YA books is “Daughter of Smoke & Bone,” a story in which doors are the bridges between this world and the magical realm of Elsewhere.

Nowhere but Morocco would I believe that to be true. Because the doors in Morocco really do promise magic. They are doors with curves and exquisite design. They are rough and humble with ancient dirt, and they burst with vibrant color. They contain secrets but they also open with great potential — behind these doors you can find snake charmers as easily as devout pilgrims in prayer.

Take a peek.
