An Avalanche of Tagines
I was looking through some old pictures of Morocco when I came across this one. Every time I walk by this tagine shop in the medina of Marrakesh I have the impression that the tagines are about to tumble down and land on my feet. I instinctively take a few steps away. They’re perfectly stacked every time, seemingly precariously leaning one on the other yet immutable as a mountain. Nothing seems to bring them down. Not the throngs of curious tourists. Not the dreaded chergui winds. Not even my clumsy hands that can’t keep away from a tagine.

They are precariously perched in such a way they look like they might tumble at any moment!

Nisrine, this is a wonderful photo. They really do look like a slight imbalance would make them fall. I love this. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings…Mary

I love how they are so perfectly stacked! I would have to touch them just to make sure they wouldn't fall!

Great picture! I would be afraid to go near that pile for fear of having to buy 47 broken tagines after I touched one.

Lovely photo. I have always wanted one of these. Would love to learn to cook in one.

How beautiful are the ones at the top? Hand painted and just calling my name. I don't own a tagine, though I would have no problem picking out which one I would like to have in this picture.
