Djenné, Mali 1992

Go softly in the world; if it is harmed, it does not return. Nigerian proverb

While visiting Djenné we took a tour of the countryside where the Bozo people live. We found these unusual, compact villages surrounded by mud walls with a mosque towering over the homes. Inside we walked the narrow streets visiting families in their mud brick homes. After we left the village these children decided to go fishing in a nearby lake. Djenné, Mali 1992
