Thanks, Pnina

Great shapes and composition here. Mud buildings all have that rounded appearance (there are some surprisingly old mud buildings in England despite the rain). Your shot captures some nice firm clean lines though - ingenious!

Wow - that's a fabulous detailed image of the building. Thank you for including a shot of the whole building for comparison sake. I always find it amazing that so many cultures have used dirt/mud for building construction ... even those that do so for lack of other building materials. Very interesting....

Pnina, A most interesting angle....I thought this was where this structure was. A real unique piece of architecture....I don't recall where or how long ago I saw a photo of this place, but it's very original....Very well done....Jim

Thanks Colin, Lou Ann and Jim.

Very interesting, Pnina. I like the entire building shot as it is so unique.

Very interesting perspective Pnina, I like it very much, definitely well seen here! :)

Thanks to all of you. The mosks in Mali are very special, one can not go into some of them, but we could in Timbuktu, and I may upload more parts of them.

How I like to find such photos! I really feel traveling... Very good angle you chose Pnina and good frame in the frame.

Impressive variation of the "look through-theme"!

Thanks Yann and Daily. These mosks are really unusual constructions.I will upload more parts of them.I'm glad you liked them, they are a "world heritage" and many of them were build centuries ago. Pnina
