Lalla Mira’s Multilingual Blog

The 100 meters’ photoshow was a lot fun, and many bloggers took part in it.
One of the participants is supposed to start a new photoshow, but since there hasn’t been any since the first one, I thought I could take up the hard mission. ;)

What to do:
- Write your name or nickname in some original way (but don’t cheat): on the sand (like I did), with spoons, using coins… Be creative! — Sorry, but pictures of old birthday cakes are not accepted, it’s against the rule of creativity!
- Take a picture of your work and post it on your blog. There is no limit on the number of pictures you can post. Don’t restrain your imagination!
- Tag a few of your friends to join the fun and spread the word.

Thus, I am tagging:
* Andy.
* Agharass Zoom.
* Intishar.
* YOU!

When: Whenever your heart wishes.

Moroccan chocolate, with a misleading European name and a disappointing taste.

I am tagged by Andy to participate in the 100 meters’ photoshow. The idea is to take pictures of things that are within 100 meters of your home.

Well… Actually… Errr… Here: I am really bad at estimating distances, so here are 4 pictures of things I think are not further than 100 meters from my place:

1) “No littering”, and the arrow must be there to show you the kind of trash not to throw there… Interesting!

2) When there is a box of Coca Cola bottles like this one, it tells you that there is a ‘grocery shop’ there. Blurry picture, I know; I took it while I was walking. :-/

3) “Chicken and vegetables”, or “Moroccan traditional KFC” (uncooked). :D

4) And, a sidewalk… [Andy, I told you that I live in a boring neighborhood, but you didn't believe me. :p]

Here is a list -that will be updated- of bloggers taking part in this game:
Andy.
Lalla-Mira.
Vegan Momma.
The Sassy Southerner.
Oxygene [She is posting 4 pictures during 4 days, in separate blog entries].
Luna Pat.
Mike’s Photo Blog
Dan.

The rules are that I should tag a few bloggers to do the same, but I don’t know many who are into photography, so I’ll pick:
Oxygene.
Stupeur.

And everyone who’s interested in 100 meters’ photoshow.

The sky is back to quiet blue in Agadir.
3la slamtna. :D

A very strange thing is happening today in Agadir, at the very moment that I am writing this. A huge number of some white birds [no idea what they are called] are coming as groups from somewhere, and stopping on the highest house in the neighborhood, making a loud noise. And every couple of minutes, some birds go fetch other groups of their kind, and they all come to settle on the same house, or on other nearby places like the local mosque. I’ve never seen such a thing before. People are saying that these birds -called 3owwa in Moroccan Arabic- feel that something unusual is about to happen. And some say that these are trash-eaters birds, and that the local ‘dunghill’ is being burnt, so they felt threatened and flew away. Whatever the reason is, the sight of these birds, their sounds and their unusual appearance are quite spooky. Will let you know if anything new happens; but if I don’t show up after this message, know that Agadir was invaded by alien white birds that you will see in the pictures below. :D

Une chose très étrange se passe aujourd’hui à Agadir, au moment même que j’écris ces mots. Un grand nombre d’oiseaux blancs [aucune idée comment ils s'appellent] viennent en groupes de quelque part, et s’arrêtent sur la plus haute maison dans le voisinage, faisant un grand bruit. Et chaque deux minutes, quelques oiseaux vont chercher d’autres groupes, et ils reviennent tous ensemble se positionner sur la même maison, ou sur d’autres endroits à proximité comme la mosquée locale. Je n’ai jamais vu une chose pareille de toute ma vie. Certains disent que ces oiseaux -appelés 3owwa en arabe marocain- sentent que quelque chose d’ultranaturel va se produire. Et certains indiquent que ce sont des oiseaux qui mangent les ordures, et que le dépotoir de la ville est entrain d’être brûlé, ainsi ils se sont sentis menacés et se sont envolés. Quelle que soit la raison, la vue de ces oiseaux, leur bruit et leur aspect peu commun sont assez effrayants. Je vous porterai au courant s’il y a quelque chose de nouveau; mais si je viens plus, sachez qu’Agadir a été envahi par des oiseaux aliens que vous pouvez voir sur les photos ci-dessous. :D
