Time for a Bath

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 19 December 2007 in Business & Industry.

This is another shot (like this one and this one) from the Tanners Souk in Fes, Morocco.

Although it was originally the case that natural dyes such as henna and saffron were used, artificial colourants including toxic metals are now seemingly the norm, which cant be good for your skin!

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

I wouldn't think so either Dave, this is a brilliant capture, I've never seen anything like it before.
