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?

Accra--From a Car Rooftop


Life is dull if we habitually ride within the ambit of convention. That's no quote! It's yours truly speaking, and I do believe that.

There's a quote, from the Jerusalem Talmud, that acts as my screensaver for my mobile, and it reads:


"A person will be called to account on judgment day for every permissible thing that he might have enjoyed but did not."


Here are no stunts, but simply me having some fun with my POLAROID digital camera. I stuck my hand out of the window, being very careful not to drop my camera, given the speed my Dad was travelling, and took a shot of the capital of Accra behind us..as we left it for the Central region some two weeks ago.

That strap is from my camera, and I'm sure you can probably see some cars behind us;-)

Well it is a nice photograph. I like the strap flying in the wind behind you. I would be afraid I might drop the camera and all would be lost forever. I didn't even know Polaroid made a digital camera.

My wife and I have been married for 52 years. We bought one of the first Polaroid cameras being sold. It made very small prints and we had to coat them when they came out of the camera. Then that had to dry before we could handle them. We still have some of those pictures and they are still OK.

This is the second episode of the Robin feeding the babies. Mom had her head down a throat today.

It is a pleasure the power to know Ghana atraves of your blog. The photos are very good and it offers to us the opportunity to know a distant land and simultaneously so nearby.

This is an interesting shot. You are a brave soul to hang your camera out the window though :)

It's a very original shot. I love it very much. Then you had a great idea to turn it in green... Simply lovely !

fabrizio--many thanks for your comments! Thanks. But you know, I didn't turn it green; I think the lens adjusted automatically!
