I actually took this photograph in a parking lot. A PARKING LOT. I was walking back to my car and the sun looked like it was playing in the tree branches, and I just had to take a picture. I’m sure I looked ridiculous as I stood beneath the tree for some time, snapping photos, and moving to different angles. I really like trees, and taking pictures of them at weird angles. So, Reach For the Sky!
When I was in college, I went on a 3 week adventure to Morocco. I joined 6 other people for my first out-of-country-experience. I met a lot of really great people, spoke more French than I actually know how to, learned some Moroccan Arabic, tried some spectacular food, drank WAY TOO MUCH mint tea, and got to explore a beautiful and intriguing country.
I took this picture on one of our visits to the Medina in Fez. The Medina is the “old city” that the rest of the city was built around. The buildings are closely crowded around each other, and it’s very easy to get lost in the narrow pathways that weave into a maze around markets, shops, and homes. We were in a shop above the dye-ing center, and I was captivated by the different colors and the people creating unique clothing and leatherwork. What a fun adventure!
