These are just some more pics I pulled out of the "random Burkina pics" folder for your viewing enjoyment. This is a stained glass window in a Catholic church in rural Burkina. Certainly not a common sight I assure you.
This is a fun picture because you see 1) the bold and precarious loading of an average bush taxi and 2) the competition of the local concession sellers to get the business of the passengers.
Me between a couple of the roots of a Kapok tree. Kapoks are known for these huge, leg-like roots that form the base of the trunk.
This is my favorite little neighbor kid, Mai. I won't lie, she's quite fond of this "Tubabu" (white person). Ever time my gate is open she'll just wander in. The chair she's in is made solely of palm fronds and a few strips of animal hide to tie things together. It cost me a whole $3.
I never cease to be amazed at what people will carry on their motos/bicycles/cars/heads/etc.
