...about the fourth different shot of the same scene that I've posted.
It tells alot though. The man's house is there, right under the tree.
Not fancy by any standard, but he had friends and he had laughter.
Even though he couldn't walk without crutches, he was still alive,
having morning tea, in an amazing, if not brutal place.
Life goes on. Do what you can. No money, a bad situation, crippled
legs. He has a tree in his backyard though and considered himself blessed
for that.

Taken in Timbuktu, Mali.
