A smurf village that ran out of blue paint?

Ha! Kind of looks that way, doesn’t it? I kept thinking of the Wizard of Oz meets the Sahara.

There’s always some background music that you’re humming as you go around snapping pictures. Did you get stuck with Somewhere Over the Rainbow in your head the whole time?

Inexplicably, I think I was stuck on Tom’s Diner, by Suzanne Vega.

Probably alternating with I Like to Move It by Reel 2 Real.

This country looks really cool. I think I’ll have to visit there someday! I like the tan themeed photos by the way. Did you have to use photoshop for that. J/K it’s really cool.

Kerry, yes, it was a lot of painstaking work on Photoshop to render a lush, green environment into what looks in these pictures like a barren, sand-blasted desert, haha. I think you would definitely get a kick out of Mali.

And Pascal, if that song gets stuck in my head now I’m going to be very upset!
