Scenes From a Village

Large families in rural areas will sometimes build a compound like the one below with several extensions and generations of relatives living within. Below are some pictures of this clan and their land.

    Thanks Heather! I use a Canon Rebel XSI, but have upgraded from the kit lens - I usually use the 24-105mm L series lens. I also enhance the pictures in Photoshop. It can be a pretty time consuming process actually!
