I took this picture in 2009 in the south region of Morocco. I really like this picture because it is representative of the underdevelopment of the country. Tourists may not think of Morroco as such but actually people still live like this in rural areas; where means of transportation are donkeys and the main roads are dirt roads.
Although this picture doesnt representa hundred percent the Kingdom we live in nowadays, therefore i decided to do some photoshop magic in order to show the contrast and the clash between rural and urban.
As you can see on the modified picture there is a girl who represents modernity (the way of clothing and the shopping bag instead of the traditional Q'ffa), the cab or the petit taxi as a mean of transportation, the mosque which is kinda hidden in the background stands for religion since Morocco's religion is Islam and the TWIN Centers which are found in the city of Casablanca. This picture is very representative of the Moroccan society it combines both the modern and traditional way of living.
