After Prayers at the Great Mosque of Djenné
A multiethnic mix of Muslim worshipers file out of Djenné’s Great Mosque after Friday morning prayers - Niger River inland delta, central Mali, West Africa. High resolution Noritsu Koki film scan, Asahi Pentax SP Spotmatic, (SMC Pentax Zoom 45~125mm f/4), circa 1976.
The mosque is considered the world’s largest adobe building and one of the greatest achievements of Sudano-Sahelian architecture, unique to the semi-arid Sahel zone that stretches across northern Africa just south of an encroaching Sahara.
