Ghana Round 2

Okay I've been really lazy about uploading another segment of Africa pictures but here goes!

Tamale Main Biker.jpg
This is the town that my mother lives in, Tamale. Not the most scenic town in Ghana, but it has a certain cosy charm. I loved it there.

Tamale Women and Billboards.jpg
This is another HIV billboard. I loved watching the women who carried everything, literally everything on their head - from hundreds of pounds of water to a sole, tied up umbrella.

Bunkpuragu Children Waving.jpg
The children in a northern region waved at the car as we passed by.

Bunkpuragu Compounds from Window.jpg
The scenic, neat little compounds pepper the countryside across Bunkpuragu. This shot was taken from inside a building and I love the torn edges effect it makes.

Bunkpuragu School Children Mob.jpg
This is, without a doubt, my favourite picture. I picked up my camera to take a candid photo of some kids outside of a school. Suddenly more and more across the playground starting moving to be in the photo - a sea of children. Then, as if one cue, they started running towards me. This picture doesn't gather the whole scope of them, they literally surrounded me. Then they just stopped about two feet away from me, all of us unsure of what to do next. I thanked them, and shook one's hand. Suddenly they were all around me, wanting to shake my hand. It was almost embarrassing, but so sweet. Finally a schoolmaster came out and ordered them away; they all obeyed immediately. Anyway, I LOVE this photo of these kids.
