Fez Riad Lantern Gallery Over Tile Fountain

Copper-toned light washes the arched arcade of a Fez riad courtyard, illuminating rows of brass lanterns suspended from the shaded ceiling. Rain streaks vertically across the glass panels of the upper gallery, blurring the intricate geometric patterns behind them. Below, a fountain of zellige tiles reflects the warm glow, its surface rippled by droplets. Wooden tables stand empty and set with white linens along the stone floor, untouched by the evening weather. The architecture features carved cedar wood and plaster details in ochre and cream. A heavy shadow falls across the lower courtyard, against the bright, diffused horizon light wrapping the upper arches. at the edge is a single raindrop sliding down the lantern glass, distorting the golden light within.
