Au revoir, Sénégal, au revoir...

It is with sadness that I note my time in Senegal has come to end and this will by last post on the beautiful country. In honor of the wonderful experience I've had living in Senegal, this post is a collection of my favorite photos from my time wandering Dakar and beyond.

Please stay tuned because this does not mark the end of my African adventure or the blog as I am relocating to a new country in southern Africa and will pick up my photographic wanderings right quick!

For my favorite photographs from Zimbabwe: go here!!

For my favorite animal photographs: go here!!

In no particular order, my favorite photographs of Senegal:

Part I: Leaving Dakar

 heading out of Dakar and chilling, Senegalese style

car rapide heading toward Rufisque

we drove toward Lac Rose, luckily not on the outside of a car rapide

 where we paused long enough to take in the fabled source of Lac Rose

 then we drove north and passed this tucked away mosque in the middle of nowhere

until we embarked on this path into the dunes....
