Fez Riad Pool Copper Light Cedar Shadows

Copper-toned light floods a sunken plunge pool in a Fez riad courtyard, illuminating a floor of intricate zellige mosaic tiles in turquoise, white, and deep blue. Water lies still, reflecting the warm glow of the setting sun against walls lined with carved cedar lattice. The geometric patterns cast sharp, dark shadows that stretch across the stone rim and into the water. Polished stone surfaces gleam under the golden hour sun, creating a contrast between the cool hues of the tile and the amber air. Symmetrical arches frame the space, guiding toward the center where the water meets the mosaic. One tile edge catches the light, marking the boundary between the pool and the courtyard floor.
