[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this photo on my last day in Senegal ::tears falling:: I was standing inside the walls of the courtyard of my host family's home. They live right beside this mosque, and I had begun used to the calls to prayer made each day. I really miss the sound of the muezzin and men chanting, and the feelings of the evenings in Dakar. I hope to go back one day...

Lovely image. Your note adds to the atmosphere. It's always nice to travel and see the world. Just a shame we never get enough of it. :-)

Lovely photo, with the dark sky coming in. Still lovely colour left in it. Nicely enhanced by the mosque.

Well captured. TFS.

Hi Lara,
I know what you mean in your note, I feel the same, and I miss Dakar so much.
Your shot has great colours.

Interesting colors and sharpness despite the dark light of the shadow. Original and even risky cropping, but it works !
