the child and the big bad wolf. sent on March 12, 2012 (15:59) by Anthony Pappone. 6 comments, 1088 views.

at 185mm, 1/800 f/4.0, ISO 100, hand held.

foto scattata durante il festival di maschere in burkina faso, questo e' stato uno dei momenti piu' belli delle danza delle maschere...a un certo punto la maschera con sembianze da lupo ha iniziato a rincorrere e catturare i bambini venuti dai villaggi per assistere all'evento.

the photo is beautiful and significant moment caught. but above all, I envy you for the destination, because I imagine you'll also visited the villages Gurunsi.
but it seems unlikely that it is a wolf mask: I doubt that in burkina faso I have ever seen. more likely a jackal or a hyena or even a warthog (but lack tusks).
can you tell me the race? lobes (do not think)? moved? Gurunsi? bwa? bobo?

Hello Bosphorus!
Yes, you're absolutely right, sorry!! It is not a wolf, but it should be a jackal!! Think the soothsayers Dogon read the future in the footprints of the Jackal within a rectangle drawn in the ground where you pose of cola nuts or peanuts to attract the animal that comes in the night to take the dried fruit and leaves its footprints in this magical rectangle where the next day soothsayers take important decisions!
Back to us, no I lobes are bwa, June 23 go to Ghana Togo and Benin to see voodoo in Benin and holidays Ashanti in Ghana and I think I go and look at the villages in Ghana Gurunsi and the lobes of the north! !

Beautiful photos and caught moment. I had seen similar festivities masks and a few kilometers from Bobo Dioulasso in 1997. The Li ethnic groups was "Bobo". Enjoy your trip to the next destination. Appearance photos of Ashanti.
Best wishes from Chad.
