Norbert Juhász's Portrait of Moroccan Berber Settlements
In this photo-essay, Norbert Juhász?a Hungarian photographer based in Budapest?presents a study of the Moroccan Berber villages (around Imlil and the surrounding valleys). Located in the High Atlas Mountains, these remote settlements are increasingly connected to the "outside world." In the words of Juhász, "many are now connected to the electrical grid and have some sort of road access." That said, "mules are still a popular form of transport."
