The Gambia 2001 Photo Gallery by Jan-Michael Breider at pbase.com

The Gambia 2001

The Gambia is a very small and narrow country with the border based on the Gambia River. The country is less than 48km wide at its greatest width. The country's present boundaries were defined in 1889 after an agreement between the United Kingdom and France. Apart from its coastline, where The Gambia borders the Atlantic Ocean, it is an enclave of Senegal and by far the smallest country on the continent of Africa.
These are a small selection of photos on people, birds & animals I met on a trip to Gambia & Senegal in january 2001.

GREETINGS FROM CALIFORNIA 2009 -- UNITED STATES OF AMERICA This is a fascinating Photo Gallery. There are lots of favorites; however, "Little Girl Livng Close to Niokolokoba NP-Senegal" captures my heart. She reminds me of my friends and relatives on the Farmlandsd of North Carolina during the 50s & 60. Congratulations.
