Windows in Morocco - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

When your only connection to the world is a window, what would you do? 

In Morocco, Madersas are the best opportunities, for the non-Islamic,  to admire the Islamic architecture.  At these institutions for the study of Islamic theology and religious law, students would stay in small dens, with only one window opening.  While the idea is to limit the amount of distraction from outside world, I did what made sense to me and got a great view.

You see, I had to look out my window to look into the one across from me.  Had I looked down instead of looking out, as this gentleman did, I would have missed such view and the nice lady.

Windows are often referred to as a metaphor for opportunities.  So in light of  windows, what would you do?

Viva, Mexico! - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

Five years ago in Mexico city, Jose, in his sarcasm, described how only the modern development collapsed in the (infamous) 1985 earthquake, and all historical buildings stayed intact.  Back then, it was fun to laugh it off.  

Today, my heart wrenched at the sight of loss, fear and agony when the earthquake stroke central Mexico again, exactly 32 years from the last one.

I met this boy in the historical centro part of Mexico City.  I so wished that there will be no more separation nor loss due to natural or human-inflicted disasters.
