Whirlwind
October 18th, 2007This past summer Sarah Cunningham took an intensive language course in Arabic. It took her from Tanja to Asilah, Chefchouan to Tetuon and Fez. What follows are a few snapshots of her whirlwind travel.


Colbalt blue… to keep the bugs away.

A quarter in the city of Fez.

A few things: Morocco is in North Africa, not the Middle East. Fez is a city, the last picture is probably a quarter (maybe the Jewish quarter) in Fez. As someone who has always loved what Sphere does, I find it appalling that this entry looks so much more like a blog, than a magazine. It’s the little things…

PS The photos are all beautiful, but where are their captions?

Dear Sam,
Thank you for pointing out those unfortunate errors. Sphere apologizes for the misinformation, and will work harder in fact checking and presentation. Unfortunatly captions were not provided with the photos, and the decision was made to let the photos speak for themselves.
As for the look of a blog, could you possibly elaborate? Sphere is a blog ( five blogs linked together actually) and therefore looks like one. What sort of change would you be interested in seeing?
