Accra by Day & Night
(Ghana is 51 years! Click the website here!)


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...

Ghanaian Schoolchildren Going Home


Note the different colours they are wearing (brown/yellow; blue/white) Each coloured uniform connotes a different school. It is generally the private schools that have very different colours--blue or otherwise--from the usual brown bottom (skirt/shorts for girls/boys) and yellow top.

I didn't quite get the sharpness of the pictures--next time--but for sure, they seem to be happy going home around 3pm, when schools close!

    Life in Accra looks interesting. Great slice-of-life photo and I like your header. We eat lots of fish and sweet potatoes too here in Florida.
