The last picture is really cool to me.. they all are but that one essentially shows time... or change maybe...... thank you for sharing...Tis okay!
Most places here have electricity. In the South, where this particular Kasbah is located (there are thousands) many of the smaller towns, villages and farmsteads have solar panels. Morocco is very much at the forefront of renewable development and usage. Many rural places do still get their water from springs or wells, though. It's great fun going down the hill with your donkey with water barrels on its sides, to fill them up from the well. For the first week. Then it becomes a tad irksome.
These old kasbahs and the surrounding houses are built from wattle and daub - effectively mud and straw, so, every time it rains, which isn't too often, they dissolve a little more. The one I showed is Ait Benhaddou, here you can see the houses from a distance leading up the the kasbah.

Only a handful of families live here now, though many of the buildings are shops and cafes for the tourists.
The rest of the locals live in the modern concrete buildings on the other side of the river.

Many towns are like this. Here is Tinejdad where you can see the empty, abandoned wattle and daub buildings in the foreground, slowly dissolving in the rain, and behind them, the occupied,modern concrete new town.

Freedom to do pretty much what you want, within reason, great weather, beautiful countryside, good friends, delicious food, it's safe and everything you need is very cheap indeed.
Me too ??You’ve indulged me.. thank you! they say curiosity killed the cat... hope that doesn’t apply to the broader spectrum... ??
