Tranquil

Street life

Spring clean
All children, especially the girls, help out with household chores
Happy kids
All the little ones absolutely adore having their picture taken
Scaly
These lizards are everywhere and can be quite vicious when fighting over scraps of food on the floor!
Fisherman's friend
Two friends mend their nets together after a hard day's fishing
White smiles
Nothing makes hungry children happier than a food delivery!
Scrap that!
A family passes by a car engine abandoned in the middle of the road. Rubbish is a problem everywhere in Ghana- and indeed in the whole of West Africa
More junk?
Almost as random- a boy sits next to a TV in the courtyard of his home

Singing in the rain
Being right on the equator, Ghana is often hot and humid- but when it rains, it pours!!
Time for celebration
Adults and children alike dress up in traditional clothing for celebrations...
Face paints
...and faces are often decorated in paints or chalk
A heavy load
All women carry their babies with cloth woven around their middle like this, using their heads to carry any other object
Too tyred to stand?!
A young boy uses a tyre as a seat to perch on
Get your skates on!
A display of rollerblading tricks from the coolest kids in town
Acrobatics

Just chillin'
Free range it is! All farm animals roam around free- how does everyone know what belongs to who? Your guess is as good as ours!
Fishy business
Colourful fisherman boats line the shore
Beach sunset
A cluster of palm trees on the beach at dusk
