Red Hat Man in Blue City

Chefchaouen of Morocco is is known as the "Blue City" for its distinctive blue-washed buildings in the historic medina. To me, its magic comes out at night, after all the tourists all gone and the streets are quite, with color tone casting its brights and shadows. While wandering on streets, I was draw attention to this man's red hat which contrasted to the blue door and wall.
