Burkinabe elders in front of a traditional mosque. BURKINA FASO.
In the drier northern region of the country village mosques are often constructed using mud bricks and clay, which are applied to a supporting frame of hardwood. The insulation provided by the thick mud walls ensures that conditions within the mosque remain cool no matter how warm the outside temperature.
