Casbah of Rabat

Both my phone and my camera record the GPS location of photos.  Which this has potential security risks, because the photos contain the date, time, and location,  a little care severely restricts the potential damage.  You already know I'm in Morocco, and by the time these are posted, I am no longer anywhere near the locations (and the information has been stripped out in the small files posted here).

One day recently, we visited Casbah or Rabat, and then walked along the Atlantic Ocean.

This shows thumbnail versions of the photos, on the SRTM DEM and the OpenStreetMap roads.  Note that neither data set shows the large jetty on the north side of the map.  The GIS software allows setting the size of the images--bigger makes them easier to see, smaller shows more of them and the map underneath.

Waves crashing on the jetty on the south side of the river on which Rabat sits.

Our pictures from the Casbah, shown on the map where we took them.  There are three groupings: the gardens to the south, the street scenes in the center, and the views of the ocean and river to the north.  At this scale you clearly see the pixels from the SRTM, which is the best free data for this area.  In much of western Europe or North America, much better data is available.

 The gardens.

 The wildlife.  While cats are by far the most common wildlife, other animals show up as well.

Streets are brightly colored, with plants everywhere.

The river, the fortifications, the harbor engineering works, and the Atlantic Ocean.
