Casablanca (A.K.A. Dar-el-Beida)

Here are a few shots from Casablanca, Morocco, where I spent the weekend:

From the air, the Hassan II mosque (second largest in the world) is plainly visible on the coast.


A wealthy district above the Corniche, where Moroccans dress in remarkably Western fashion and go walking, jogging, and drive about in their expensive cars (notice that I'm shooting from a Mercedes, not my usual class for sure!)


The beach past La Corniche, a popular spot on a Sunday afternoon.

The Hassan II mosque dominates the city skyline. 25,000 people can fit inside with room for an additional 80,000 estimated outside.
