When you look out at the ocean, do you ever wonder who is on the other side? I do! So when we were at the beach in South Carolina, I felt compelled to look it up. Turns out that Morocco is directly across the Atlantic from South Carolina. I had recently been to Morocco, so I could vividly picture what was on the ocean as I walked along the shore.
For this week’s Photo Challenge: Dialogue, we are asked to bring two photos into dialogue. The first photo, taken on Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina, looks directly east across the Atlantic Ocean towards Morocco. The second photo, taken in Rabat, looks directly west towards South Carolina. The photographic dialogue even reflects the time difference; the first photo was taken in the early morning, which is afternoon in Morocco.
Sometimes we need a reminder that our beautiful world is really not so big after all. And that often our connections can be greater than our differences.
What to find out what’s on the other side of the ocean from where you are? The Washington Post published a quick reference – check it out here!

Excellent challenge. Now, I have to check what is directly across from us in Nicaragua. Hmmm…I’m really not sure.

What an interesting and creative take on the challenge – loved it! And you were about 30 minutes away from my home in Charleston for the first shot too 🙂 Who knew we were across from Morocco!!!

Thanks Tina! I love Charleston. We visit often as my husband’s family has deep roots there. You’re lucky to call Charleston home. But now you will just have to visit Morocco!

Like, Tina, I also thought this was a very creative interpretation of the them (I still haven’t found a good take on it, but it’s brewing). I would have thought that Carolina would be more in line with Spain and France as they share a similar climate.

Thanks very much! I actually thought it was farther south than Morocco, but I was way off. Which is why it is good to look things up! Thanks for your comment!

Ugh, so many typos and I didn’t see an “edit” function. Try again: “Like Tina, I also thought this was a very creative interpretation of the theme…”
