Cat Sleeping on Scooter in Essaouira

This photograph is of a stray cat sleeping on a scooter in Essaouira, Morocco. It was amazing to me that a cat could sleep so peacefully in such a busy area. I also really love how the wall and cat are so similar in color yet there's still amazing visual contrast because of the textures.
