That photo shows the ruins of the great 12th century Tinmel Mosque in Morocco's High Atlas Mountains which collapsed in Friday night's terrible earthquake. Below is the post I wrote after my 2018 visit to Tinmel. Four days after the earthquake I was scheduled to fly to Marrakech and then, once again, trek in the High Atlas close to the quake's epicentre. The mountain village I would have been based in is now cut-off by landslides, and has no electricity or mobile phone connection.
