- Description
- This photo was taken in Zaouiat Ahansal, a remote mountain village in the Haut Atlas of Morocco when I was there studying development. This village has historical importance as an Islamic religious site but had fallen into disrepair during the French Colonialization. Rather than leave it to crumble, though, many people dedicated to seeing this cultural site preserved have worked to restore the Zaouiat to its original condition, encouraging the village to preserve its lifestyle. This photo captures the mosque and some of the unique mountain architecture of this village and reminds me of the importance of not allowing the diverse cultural traditions to be lost under westernized development.

- One of the three iconic windmills of Kioni village on the island of Ithaca, Greece. The people of Kioni are very proud of these historic mills, even lighting them in the evening so they can be seen. This photo is taken from the windy hill the three iconic windmills reside, facing towards the beautiful little village of Kioni on Odysseus's homeland of Ithaca.
