    Esteban was knowledgeable and extremely friendly. I had a fun time and took photos that I usually wouldn't have without clear guidance by Esteban. I would highly recommend another course with him. The event was casual and very enjoyable. I will be booking into future events.

    The highlight of our Morocco trip was the Sahara Desert where we travelled by Camel Train out to the Dunes , We finally made it to the top of a 150m Dune where our Cameleer took a well deserved rest. Not long after this shot a Sandstorm rolled in and turned day into night. Thankfully he knew his way back to camp with his eyes closed and we are still trying to get the sand out of every thing. Camera was safe.

Harriet pictured here is, as always, accompanied by Ozzie and their offspring of the season. They have been welcomed morning coffee mates for the last 12 years.
