Location
This photo was taken in August 2014 during a trip to Morocco. One afternoon as I wandering around the Medina in Tangier I came across a pre wedding ritual. The family and friends of the groom were leading a young bull through the narrow medina streets. The bull was then slaughtered in a small square and everyone marked themselves with with some blood. This girl caught my eye as she watched the events unfold. This photo was placed 2nd in the 2016 TopFlight Travel Photographer of the year in IrelandTime
