Village Assembly Welcoming Guests - Mar Lodj, Senegal

Village Assembly Welcoming Guests - Mar Lodj, Senegal

Nothing of a traditional ceremony here, as the clothes worn are everyday clothes, nothing either of a classic "jotaay" (talks, chill out or council assembly) because men and women sit together for African tea. It's just a way to welcome guests (from family to foreign strangers) few minutes after the very moment of their arrival.
----------
L'invité, qu'il soit de la famille ou inconnu étranger, est accueilli en toute simplicité, par les femmes et les hommes du village, autour de l'arbre à palabres et d'un thé traditionnel.

Taking Inspiration While RIding Camel in Desert - Lompoul, Senegal

Taking Inspiration While RIding Camel in Desert - Lompoul, Senegal

When riding a camel, in addition to the cool feeling to ride an animal, in addition to the exotic feeling of riding an exotic animal, you make the most of something else: being high! At slow speed, so having the time to watch carefully, you enjoy a higher point of view. Very good for inspiration!
----------
Monter un chameau, outre la relation privilégiée avec l'animal, reste une expérience à forte teneur exotique, notamment pour l'angle de vision haut perché, avec tout le temps de profiter du paysage qui avance paresseusement, mais sûrement. Un moment propice à l'inspiration.

Traditional Life Scene With Typical Girl Activity - Mar Lodj, Senegal

Traditional Life Scene With Typical Girl Activity - Mar Lodj, Senegal

Part of education, need for future daily life and link with tradition, many acts of daily life tasks are learnt very young. Quite often, an elder sister can be the teacher. The more rural, the more valid.
----------
Les enfants prennent une part active aux tâches familiales de la vie courante. Piler le mil ou apprendre à sa jeune soeur à faire de même, pour décharger les adultes qui ont déjà fort à faire, cela permet d'être vite autonome, mais aussi de perpétuer la tradition. Ce phénomène est d'autant plus vérifiable qu'on est en zone rurale.

Traditional Pirogue Cruising On Sunset In Saloum River Delta - Saloum, Senegal

Saloum river delta is a paradise for many reasons, but for great pictures hunters, a pirogue cruise on the river is more like a must. Every second can be a gem for a shoot.
----------
C'est l'un des nombreux attraits paradisiaques de la mangrove dans le Saloum: un bonheur permanent pour les chasseurs d'images où chaque instant apporte sa lumière paticulière à des paysages sauvages et tranquilles en même temps. On capture ainsi de multiples déclinaisons de la sérénité.

Street Of Ndar Island - Saint Louis, Senegal

Street Of Ndar Island - Saint Louis, Senegal

Saint Louis is Senegal's most preserved place of colonial period. Its former status of French Western Africa Maybe the reason why.
----------
A se promener dans les rues de Saint Louis, on ressent très vite le fort parfum de charme désuet, un peu comme si le temps s'y était arrêté: la nostalgie d'une époque où la ville pouvait s'enorgueillir de son statut de capitale de l'Afrique Occidentale Française.
