A few minutes later, the pictured gentleman walked out of the mosque’s courtyard and into the village’s main road/through street.
Clearly, he was someone for whom other villagers “looked out”.
I saw a shopkeeper welcome him, and make him a cup of tea; no money changed hands.
All photos in this series are “candid”; I dislike photos of people who are “mugging” for the camera/ “smiling”, on demand. (and I detest “selfies”)
A later, multi-image post will show more of this particular village and its inhabitants.
