Different Points of View

I found this scene in Fez Medina, Morocco. There is an older gentleman sitting, a younger man, and a cat. I love the cat. He shares the seated guy’s naturalness in the scene. He actually looks more comfortable than the younger man. He is obviously not listening to the shop owner. However, he is hanging in pretty close. He is also comfortable with the young guy. So that probably says something about the relationship between the young guy and the old guy – familiar, not a casual relationship. In the Medina, you would never see this scene with a dog in it. Cats are favored. Or, at the minimum, tolerated. But this kitty here is especially favored. Might be used to some caressing from the old guy. Or more likely, food - like when times are a little slower. Granted, they look a little slow at 11:28 in the morning. If the snacks don’t come out pretty quick, he will likely wander down to the butcher shop. 

There is a simple story indicated in the image.

Photo of Dale

Posting a photo of Dale may seem odd in a collection called "Different Points of View," that started out in Morocco. But Dale is a longtime nomad and has experienced much of the world. He fits in wherever you find him, and that is apt to be anywhere.
