Sidi Ifni Gallery 1 (May 2006)



A photograph of what was once the officers’ mess for the Spanish navy. Taken from the Spanish steps that lead down to the beach at Sidi Ifni.

Another view of the "ship house" seen from the beach at Sidi Ifni.
The maritime hull, and modernist superstructure, mend together well. A rare example of a very brief experiment involving architecture and humour.

The docks and pylons of the cable car conveyor loom out from the sea mist, south of Sidi Ifni. This photograph was taken from the garden of what was once the custom officer's house, just behind the beach.

Walking South along the beach at Sidi ifni, the cable car conveyor emerges gradually from the sea mist, but provides no explanation for its presence.

The landward pylon of the two “land to sea conveyor” concrete pylons. This approach to the structure is along the beach towards the port. To the left beneath the red sandstone cliffs you will see a number of wooden, cardboard, and tarpaulin shacks. People come from Casablanca in the summer to live and fish here. Escaping summer heat and unknown other desperations.
