Soumbédioune

Two boys at Soumbédioune, Dakar, Senegal
It's hard not to take a photo when they pose so proudly!

I couldn't resist a second version of the previous photo;
different boy leaving Soumbédioune towards the Supreme Court (in background)

I was trying to take a photo of the bench, but when this guy came back to pose, a photo was necessary!
