jardin majorelle blue

There’s a blue in Marrakech that doesn’t exist anywhere else. It’s the blue of walls, fountains, and shadows - the colour of still air before dusk. At the Jardin Majorelle, this blue swallows the heat of the city, holding it in silence. Cacti stand like sculptures. Palm fronds cut patterns against the sky. Yves Saint Laurent called it his refuge. For me, it felt like stepping inside a memory painted in blue.
