And some of the village kids posing for a photo on the mosque front steps.


Mud bricks drying on the river bank.


A patchwork of crops growing from the water of the river.


Ségou-Koro center with the river stretching out left and right.


A boy and his two goats sheltering in the shade. It was interesting also to see a Malian chicken which looked quite naturally proportioned and not like the plump overbred chickens we have in the west.


Women and children relaxing under a tree.


A young woman posing for a portrait.


Another ancient mud mosque inside the town.


After the very interesting and enlightening stroll through Ségou-Koro we then made the short drive to the city of Ségou.


Checking into Hotel L'Auberge.


And our room for the one night stay. My roommate for the trip was Udo, a finance executive from Germany who worked for Siemens in Abu Dhabi.


Délicieux et rafraîchissant. For lunch we went for a short walk to a local restaurant.
