Saloum Delta National Park

 Sunset over the mangroves at the Saloum Delta National Park

Siné-Saloum Delta, Senegal

 The park is known for its lush mangroves and is a bird watcher's destination

 sunset!

 the sunset took on an amazing purple aura

When the birds were finding their resting place for the night, they made sounds like I'd never heard before:

I couldn't resist...the traffic heading back to Dakar!
