It is a fabled land of sand, salt and nomads. But Mali is more than the Sahara; it is a place where the Niger River flows past some of Africa’s unique tribal and architectural wonders. Art Wolfe follows the river road to the camouflaged villages of the cliff-dwelling Dogon people; floats downriver to Djenne’s fantastic mud mosque; heads into the desert with nomadic Tuaregs; and finally travels on to Timbuktu where he meets up with a camel caravan.
Art Wolfe's Travels to the Edge takes a look at some of the world's most distant locations. Explore breathtaking glaciers, spectacular deserts, vibrant jungles, and majestic mountain peaks.

I love this photographer. Such a beautiful world we live in. My grandfather was born in 1900 he visited Timbuktu in his 20s . He was enamored of the place.

I was there 40 years ago.. crossed the Sahara on 3 of the 4 routes. Mali and the Dogon country were highlights. Unlike so much of Africa, it looks like it hasn't changed much. Traveling is probably easier now (I crossed on an empty sheep truck heading north from Gao that kept breaking down and walked two days to get to the Dogon villages along the falaise). Honestly though, my impression is that Mali is far more dangerous these days. Marvelous photography and cinematography. Respect.

Are the 'Dogon people' and culture - really as 'Mystical' as some people claim they are?🤔
@johnlinnemeier9624
@johnlinnemeier9624 2 года назад
@@joelgoldsmith4747 I think you could say that. Now that I think about it, along with the Rasta men of Ethiopia they may be more concerned with the spiritual dimension of life than any other peoples in black Africa. Though most would call them poor, they're quite proud of their culture. A friend and I smoked grass with an "homme sage" who impressed me deeply. Above the masks that fit on their faces, are attached two parallel pieces of wood... one represents the regular world and the other a coexisting spiritual world. I have a magnificent example of one by my front door that I bought in Capetown. In a continent with a lot of incredible, and highly affordable, art their carvings are highly regarded. This film showed warriors dancing in them. If you go to Mali these days be careful... It's dangerous.

Can you imagine if they came to the U.S. & started putting cameras up to our faces to take pictures of us? Americans would be so offended. It reminds me of the old pictures I saw of certain "different" ppl that were put in cages for all to look at. I don't know, it just gave me that feeling.

That's because theres already an overload of photography from the US, compared to other areas. What would be the point in someone from Africa going to the US for this, they already see the US in their media all the time.

Nigerian river is integral to the people. Everything happens at the river. Nigerian river is the third largest river in Africa. Deposits silt making fertile land, which is essential to agriculture. Mali was the bread basket. The Nigerian is a focal place of activity, wash clothes, wash their goats, fishing

Nile river runs nearly 7000 kilometers, make it the longest in the world, but the lower portion of it in Egypt-----that 300 miles sector, from suez canal then extend south 300 miles along Nile river. there are 30 millions people live there on that very narrow arable zone along both side of Nile river. From now on, Egypt slowly evolving from a tranditional agriculture to a industrial country. you can imaging from now on, industrial factories will be constructed and in operation soon, estimate figure----thousands of factories will be completed in the next 20 years. that will be a great new for the local econ thrive, great improvement for indigenous inhabitants. on the other hand, it maybe a great harm to the enviorment. I hope not.

The Jordan River flowed through Jordan. Until the Israelis diverted its river bed in a way that it now flows through Israel. And now the Jordan River is no longer in Jordan but in Israel. So the Israelis should first return the Jordan River to the Jordanians. For at the moment, the Jordan River no longer flows through Jordan but through Israel. I think Israelis have enough to sweep in front of their own doorstep before they decide to “help” others. They are not as innocent as people think.
