The Grand Mosque of Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso is made entirely of mud, wood, and straw — yet it has stood strong for over 130 years. Its wooden beams not only support the structure but also act as scaffolding for annual replastering after the rainy season — a living tradition that keeps the mosque both ancient and ever-renewed.

While the old massive steel cantilever seen in the background has collapsed, Nauru’s harbor area continues to hum with activity as phosphate is loaded onto ships, fueling the island’s economic lifeline. But at dawn, the scene shifts — local residents and children gather by the waters to swim, a peaceful ritual that connects them to the sea before the day’s industrial bustle begins.

Father passing a piece of bread to his son, seen in Omapaha - a traditional Himba village located in Northern Namibia. Himba people, especially women, are famous for covering themselves with otjize paste, a cosmetic mixture of butterfat and ochre pigment that gives their skin and hair plaits a distinctive texture, style, and orange or red tinge.
