Moroccan Riad Courtyard Above

FASCINATING photograph of a traditional Moroccan riad courtyard, looking down from the upper gallery into the central open-air atrium, a mosaic tile fountain in geometric star pattern at the center with gently bubbling water, lush potted orange trees and jasmine vines climbing the white plastered walls, ornate carved cedar wood balconies on each level with colorful woven textiles draped over railings, zellige tilework in cobalt blue, emerald green and warm terracotta creating intricate patterns on every surface, dappled sunlight filtering through a retractable fabric canopy above, the perfect blend of indoor and outdoor living.
