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?

Cars Stand Attention: Traffic Wardens in Sight!


See the man, wearing white uniform, to the right of the picture? He is one of many traffic wardens, from Ghana's MTTU, or Motor Traffic and Transport Unit of the Ghana Police Service.

Here, he is directing traffic exactly the lane down, where this picture was taken, near the airport.

He's a brave man, I think. Standing in the middle of traffic must be a bit off-putting sometimes.

It is funny that you posted this picture...

A few days ago, I misuderstood the white coated guy's "stop" signal for the international "take yer chance and come on through" signal. Two blocks later, I was chased down and cut off by an upset Mr. White coat who had left his post and commandered a civilian car. That was funny enough. Oddly enough, he didn't want to write me a ticket, but demanded a ride back to his intersection. I admitted my error, but told him that he wasn't getting a ride, but if he ran, perhaps he could get back there before an accident occured.

So, was I supposed to bribe him?

They are sharp dressers, but the volunteer leafy branch waving brigade really are amazing.

Ok, sorry to vent. Nice pictures.
