Hi there!
What a nice and cheerful post! Sunny and warm...
The colours of the water look really interesting - sandy on one side, blue on the other.
Some are having fun in the water, and some (in the background) are going from school as far as I can see :)
Wish the people of anywhere in the world a bette future, however they'll define the word themselves.

Warm and cheerful, full of life. Great point of view.
Salil

We sometimes ignore,we often forget that an entire continent is living in poverty.
I know that some day that will change.
I hope they'll make the right choice today in Senegal.
Thank you Sylvie !
sorin

hi Sylvie,

You can almost hear the laughs from the kids in the water playing ... great photo, i like daily life scenes from other countries ! You took a wonderful moment.
greetings, inn :)

Bonjour Sylvie :o)
Merci pour ce beau message, j'adhère. Je connais le Sénégal et la dure vie quotidienne par le biais de mon frère qui y va fréquemment pour enseigner. Espérons que la joie reste sur leurs visages.

Hi sylvie,
For the visitor of africa a well known picture. it is always a pleasure to see people taking a bath after a warm sweaty day.
thanks for sharing this typical african picture

Hola Sylvia!
Un futuro mejor, es un esperanzador deseo para Senegal, Me sumo a él. Y mando mis fuerzas a su gente para poder verlos sonriendo el día de mañana como los niños de tu alegre foto, Silvy. Y no solo sonriendo ;), también con unos solidos conocimientos que les hagan prosperar (esta Nuné siempre atenta ;))
Un abrazo!
Edén

Bonjour Sylvie,
Beau point de vue et une petite bouffe de chaleur pour nous encore dans l'hiver.
J'aime les couleurs et la profondeur du champs.
Merci de partager

Very colourful daily life shot, Sylvie. Nice capture, sheer joy. One model jumps out, however: the lady with the yellow bikini up front. I hope you took some separate shots of her ;o).
TFS.

Hey Sylvie, thats so unlike you. This is the first time I am seeing such a work from you ever since I became a member. its nice and the crowds have been well managed to fill up the frame with all the activity and fun happening

Grandieuse photo Sylvie, Bravo. J'ai visit'e Senegal, grâce a ta photo, j'ai pu voir a travers de tes yeux...Merci pour partager.
Amitiés.
Kristian

Je pensais que les plages à Gorée sont paradisiaques, du sable a perte de vue, des cocotiers, et des transats !

Je dois corriger un peu mes petites connaissances !

This would be good on trekearth.
I love the lines and the business in the colours.
Well seen and well captured too.

How nice seeing them all happy, Sylvie!
