What is Accra Pictures by Day and Night?

Accra is the capital of the small, West African country of Ghana, which achieved its independence in 1957 from its colonial master, the United Kingdom. It celebrated 50 years in 2007, and is projecting itself fast and furiously as "gateway to West Africa".

It's an exciting city, with its unique problems, but with it close to the Atlantic ocean, and many beaches, who can resist coming here?

speaking of air pollution do you have leaded gasoline in ghana? i know in greece they only banned a few years back so was wondering.

Kim--many thanks. I like your photo blog; et je suis aussi ravi que vous parlez aussi le francais!;-)

magikthrill--that's a very discerning comment. In fact, much of the gasoline is, regrettably, unleaded. This means that a lot of the time, car users have to spend extra--by buying some liquid that removes the sediments--to get rid of those elements that make it leaded.

That, I am sure, also compounds the problem, resulting in horrible pollution scenes like these!;-)

Looks like a very busy street and yes that truck sure is poluting the air! I wouldn't want to be driving behind it.

I HATE it when I get behind a vehicle like that truck you show.

Emmanuel, quelle horrible fumee noire! I hate those big trucks that fume. I notice the Shell sign in the distance, what other petrol companies do you have?

faye pekas--it's a university road; that is to say, it leads to the main university, and so at this time, it's not surprising the scale of the traffic

Nathalie--many thanks for visiting my blog! On a des stations de petroles, comme Total Petroleum Ghana; Mobil; Shell (evidemment); Goil (Ghana Oil)

Je reciproque les salutations amicales;-)
