Through our travels the world becomes smaller, and we meet many wonderful people. When tragedy hits faraway lands, having visited there makes those events much more real. The fire in Notre Dame, political unrest in a third world country or natural disasters become more personal.
Robin and I previously traveled through some of the area hit hardest by this week’s Moroccan earthquakes. Thousands of people died, many more were injured, and ancient cities and villages were reduced to rubble.
Here are a few images of people photographed on our trip through the Atlas Mountains, the Sahara Desert and the beautiful city of Marrakesh. Though we may not have spoken, they live in my camera, so I consider them friends. Let’s hope these foreign friends and their families are safe.
