One of the supreme distinctions about Accra and its markets deep inside the capital is its penchant to be very colourful. So much so that the indigenes become so used to them. It is occasionally being the rare observer to a sight-so-common that you begin to be so discerning to see the small elements...and perhaps appreciate them all the more.
Shoes, onions. Ghanaian markets clearly have them all. Usually also against the backdrop of a huge edifice like the building in this picture, which I took a picture of in May around the very-busy Lapaz-Tetteh-Quarshie road.
Hot tip!

I always get a kick out of looking at what's for sale!
Leif--I have not forgotten you! Sorry you cannot see much here...will try and get a blow-up next time...
I do hope these people manage to make a living from selling all this stuff.
