Rainbow Spice Rows in Chefchaouen Souk

Piles of ground cumin and coriander form neat, colorful rows under a canvas market canopy in Chefchaouen. The bright midday sun floods the open-air stall, illuminating the warm earth tones of the spices. Mounds of tan coriander sit beside deep brown cumin, creating a rhythmic pattern across the wooden display table. The texture of the powders appears fine and soft, catching the direct light without harsh shadows. Blue painted walls of the surrounding buildings frame the vibrant colors of the goods. Wooden scoops rest in the foreground, their handles worn smooth by use. A small pile of spilled spice grains marks the edge of the display, at the base of the scene in daily commerce.
