The Old Couple

The Hassan Mosque in Rabat was going to be one of the largest mosques in the world, until it was destroyed by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake and left unfinished.  Its ruins are now in the grounds of the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, the previous king of Morocco, and there are lots of quiet places where people of all faiths can sit and reflect, or in this case, argue!

The cat was one of the many strays that lived among the ruins …

    this is such a beautiful juxtaposition of elements, each one interesting on its own and yet working together to create a story. I agree with the comment on the cat. It might be tiny but i think it takes away the oscar here !
