A Day at the Beach

Once in Ghana, I somehow found myself staying in a hut a stone’s throw away from the beach, a great way to unwind after weeks in the dry, harsh desert.

I went into the village in the afternoon, and was informed by a concerned local that it was not safe to walk around with a camera. I thanked him but kept on going. One warning does not necessarily reality make.

On the beach, though, another man flagged me down and, very alarmed, told me the same. Ah. Two identical warnings is different, and I had no intention of testing the three-strikes-you’re-out possibility. Plus I did notice that I was getting some hostile looks. So I calmly put my camera away and simply enjoyed the remainder of the sun sans shutter.

Here, then, are the few images from the beach village of Kokrobite, Ghana (plus a couple shots from a jungle canopy walk in Kakum)
