Think you guys will appreciate these photos by Timothy Allen. It was taken as part of the Human Planet documentary BBC made.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-12618167

The second photo in the video looks like it is from the people re-plastering / rebuilding the Djenne Mosque. The third one is a Dogon village in Mali. The biggest part of 2010 I spent travelling through Africa and saw these places myself. I saw similar tribes in the congo Basin as well but in DRC and Congo not where he took it, it took us about three weeks to get through the forests. Sad thing is the Chinese are there building roads, cutting down trees left and right. I also have a heartbreaking photo of two little kids who can't be much older than 6 or 7 standing on top of that rubbish dump in Mombasa, just standing there holding hands staring into the world beyond the dump. Nowhere near as good as his photos of course ;)
 
I saw the entire series on BluRay.

Seriously screw animal doccies. Human beings are way more fascinating
 
He said "I was probably coming back with between 10 and 20,000 images..." and I nearly choked, but he went on "...from each shoot." :eek:

Lovely series!
 
I've only recently become aware of the brilliant documentaries by the BBC. Planet Earth (2007) and Life (2009) was great. I'm now looking forward to watching Human Planet :)

You seen the Narobi slums yet? Sadly not very different to some places right here in our own country.
 
BBC Continues to provide excellent documentaries. David attenborough rocks!

Agreed. I generally enjoy all the BBC documentaries but haven;t seen this one yet.
 
I'm lucky enough to have the 5-disk Planet Earth Blu-ray set - Absolutely amazing documentary!!
 
thanks for the link - i've watched the blu-ray copy of planet earth and it's (ironically) out of this world!
