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 celebrates 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? Come along...

Marketwoman Displays her Yams for Sale

This is a scene right out of the market near Tema station, where a number of Ghanaian workers head to in travelling outside the centre of Accra. It is also located some minutes before the Tudu branch of the Electricity Company of Ghana.

Taken in isolation, you would be hard-pressed believing that the market behind this marketwoman could be located so close to the centre of town. You would be wrong. To some, that is the bane of Accra (human traffic); to foreigners and other Ghanaians alike, that is the beauty of this small, West African country.
