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...

From "Dancing" Diplomats to Texting Military Men, the Humour of a Conference is Complete


Whew! Only yours truly could come up with a title like that. Truth be told, nothing short and original came to mind. The pictures will speak the proverbial words, so enjoy and make up your minds on what they mean to you!

The "dancing diplomats" were caught fortuitously by my cameraphone as MEP Glennys Kinnock passed by them. I honestly don't think just because she's a member of the august European Parliament, they were that enamoured to bow down;-) One can dream, though!

Even military officials like to text, but when they do, they do it with a reverence. Note the hand behind the back as he is texting!

    Cute picture and title. I'm impressed with the one-handed texting. That is talent.

    Very amusing! Good thing the texting military man was not doing it while driving...I hear it is worse to text and drive than consuming a crate of Star and getting behind the wheel...well, I think a crate is likely to knock you out so I exaggerate..Glennys? Is that like Neil Kinnock's wife? Look at me defining successful woman in her own right by her ball and chains!

    Did you manage to capture the ear of any bigwigs?

    And which delegation had the best dancers? ;)

    Maybe if more diplomats danced, they would relax and actually get things accomplished for the greater good! Nice capture from your phone!
