[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This old man is the guardian of Chinguetti mosque : The mosque is very olf and interesting (see my other photo related to this building), but the guardian was not very friendly, and even unpleasant.
In fact, he probably belevied that I wanted to come in the mosque, which is strictly forbiden for non-muslim.
I knew it, but it was difficult to explain, because I do not speak arabian, and he spoke only in this language.

Bonsoir Yves,
Merci de ta sympatique visite.
Je viens de découvrir ta magnifique galerie. Un véritable petit trésor! Des images et surtout des portraits du Yemen absolument magiques. Félicitations pour ces belles images et merci pour le partage.
Très belles images également de Mauritanie telles que celle-ci que je trouve superbe.
Qelle atmosphère! j'adore!
Bonne soirée et amitiés.
