Slideshow: Third time's the charm... I hope

Well, damnit.

I can't get the slideshow to embed in a posting. Worse still, for some reason Blogger's not letting me delete the two bogus attempts to embed it.

So for now, you'll have to go view it on the Flickr site where I built it:

Morocco '06 slideshow

(Thanks to Quentin for the great tip on batch-processing the photos to resize them for the Web. Saved a ton of time.)

To repeat, here's some notes for your guided tour:

The 150 pictures - we edited down from 700-plus, I swear! - run in this sequence:

1. Casablanca
Scenes from Hassan II Mosque

2. Rabat
Begins with a bureaucratic-looking building

3. Children from around the country
Awwwww...

4. Chefchaouen
Begins with landscape shot of this town, famed for its blue-washed walls, in the mountains

5. Volubilis, Meknes and Fez
Begins with the ruins of Volubilis, then on to the gate and market of Meknes and then to the skyline view of the overwhelming, ancient and mosaic-filled Fez

6. On the road
If only I could pair this up with a good travelin' song

7. Sahara and the south
Starts with Amy at an oasis, followed by me playing in the world's largest sandbox

8. Marrakesh
The sign makes clear you've arrived at our favorite city

9. Essaouria and Casablanca
The gulls at the coast swarm Essaouria's "Castles Made of Sand," then it's back the Casablanca for one last night before flying home.

You can set the display time between 1 and 10 seconds, to take as long (our family) or as little (everyone else) as you'd like with each image.

Enjoy.
