This overhead image depicts the Chouara Tannery in Fez, Morocco, characterized by a sprawling complex of tightly arranged circular and rectangular stone pits. The pits are filled with various liquids, displaying a spectrum of colors including off-white, beige, multiple shades of brown, dark gray, black, and vivid red, consistent with leather dyeing and tanning processes. Numerous animal hides are visible throughout the scene: submerged in the pits, draped over their rims, stacked on intermediate platforms, and hanging to dry from the windows and rooftops of the surrounding multi-story buildings. Two individuals are actively engaged in the foreground. One worker, wearing a dark blue shirt and shorts, is positioned within a circular pit, manipulating its contents with submerged hands. Another worker, dressed in a light-colored tunic and a red cap, stands between pits, handling a large, wet hide. Additional figures are observed in the background, near the entrances and windows of the surrounding structures. One individual is visible hanging an item from an upper-story window. The environment consists of aged, ochre-colored buildings with multiple levels, featuring numerous small, rectangular windows, some barred, and wooden doors. A wooden ladder leans against one of the building walls. Scattered detritus is visible on the ground around the pits.
