Bakau Fish Market and Koriteh

Women praying outside of the Mosque on Koriteh (the holiday marking the last day of Ramadan)





Inside the mosque. This was about 30 minutes before the Koriteh prayers began, the entire Mosque filled completely with the men inside and the women outside.





Washing before praying.

Great photos! Is life different now that Ramadan is over?

very different! everything is quieter and slower during Ramadan so things are starting to become more lively again. It's also nice to be able to drink water around other Gambians again without being rude.
