Mother and baby at the church.
The church music team. All their instruments were hand
made and sounded great.
Once I got out my camera the kids mobbed me.
These ladies all shopped at the same place.
Did I look that scary.
Everyone was in their Sunday best. The shelter behind was
where they held the church services.
It was Sunday and these two were heading to Fourou for
the Monday market.
Heading to the markets too. They really appreciated it when
I stopped and took the time to talk with them.
The local timber merchant making a delivery.
This guy had a load of bean like things that have a yellow
powder in them used for spices or flavouring in cooking.
These boys were tending to a small herd of cattle. The young
ones in the front lead me by the hand through the scrub to show
me the herd.
Bathing and washing clothes took place in the same pond
where cattle were drinking.
This was a common sight in these villages. Straw shelters
for animals and people.
This family just stared at me in the ute, but that all changed
to smiles when I stopped and joined them for a photo.
Some villagers making mud bricks.One by one they cast
them in a mould, then leave them in the sun to dry.
I just had to have a go at one of these 3 cylinder Malian
convertibles.
