Discover Prompt 5: Dish

The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.

Anthony Robbins

We weren’t expecting satellite dishes in Fes, Morocco. But there they were. Filling the rooftop landscape one round white dish at a time. Forming spherical connections atop layers of centuries-old buildings. Reaching out to the world and accepting what the world sent in.

They dominated whatever tiny, squeezed-in, hard-to-fit-in space to which they were relegated. But no one cared. After all, the link to the outside world, to cyberspace, to others who were out there was far more important than preserving the view.

Dishes in Fes, Morocco

For “the way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives” is true now more than ever. Stay safe. Stay home.

      When I was going through pictures, I found this one — and it hit me that it would be fun to do something different. Thanks for taking a look!

    I can’t believe this! It’s an interesting photo! Thanks for sharing.

    Just noticed “Never too old to travel” 😉 One has to be blessed, I think.

    Stay safe.

      We love this photo because we were shocked to see so many satellite dishes from one window! And no, we’re not too old to do some travel; I just wonder when we can get back out there again! Thanks for commenting and taking a look!

      Thanks! I enjoy writing them when I have time. And right now, I’ve got time!!!

    Wow – that’s very interesting to see, tell much about their priorities, too. I suppose running cables would be too hard to do there? Great composition to your photos!

      Thanks, Shelley. It was an amazing site that we saw in most of the big cities. The contrast with old and new struck us as very interesting!

        I can imagine so, cultural differences are very interesting indeed.

    I’m glad I have no dishes obstructing my view…but I can understand people wanting to be connected.

      I feel the same way. We were shocked when we saw how many dishes there were, but we understood how they wanted to be “up” on the latest.
