Ouidah, Benin: visit to the temple of the pythons
[ Images: a visit to the python temple in Ouidah, Benin. Sort of a tourist trap, but a beautiful one, and also a legitimate center of voudun worship, from what I'm told. But most daily religious practice of this faith takes place in far more private places, not really accessible to foreign visitors. 2007, Xeni Jardin, cc licensed. ]

I love the second shot. Also, it is very cool to see you doing all this.
In 1979, my parents were visiting West-Africa. They stopped in this village and it's how, before it is scientifically possible, my mother discovered she was pregnant of a little boy: la "Dame aux serpents" has been able to find out reading in my mother's hand...
Crazy, right ?
