| Pictured is the front facade to a house in Chefchaouen, a city in northwest Morocco noted for its buildings in shades of blue.  A staircase leads up to a wooden door and windows on the first and second floors are covered with wrought iron painted white.  Chefchaouen is known as `The Blue Pearl` and `the Blue City` of Morocco.  The city was founded in 1471 as a small kasbah to defend against the Portuguese invasions of northern Morocco. |
