Tell me, when you look up, what do you see? / Nowhere in Africa have I encountered such a dedication to elaborately designed ceilings like in Mauritania. It came as a very pleasant surprise to see more than just a white wall staring down at me and I can only imagine the hours, creativity, and attention to detail that goes into crafting these designs. When you consider the fact that Mauritanians spend a good chunk of their time indoors (because of the hot Saharan sun), you'll understand why each home is a carefully crafted paradise on its own. After my first few days, the instinct was to immediately look up to discover what delights awaits. Talk about flipping the script on everyday living 🙃 🌍: Nouakchott, Mauritania 🇲🇷, July 2015
