Four years ago Ii spent Christams and New Year in Ghana. It was very different to the festivals back home and very low key. There is much to be said for that. the people are very friendly.
Such a typical scene in Ghana, an ancient taxi well overloaded battling through the monsoon-like rain, which was a daily occurrence during the rainy season. As you can see from the picture, it really does hammer down when it rains- nothing like we know!
Also of note is the traffic lights- the only ones I saw during my three months in the country! Needless to say, many people just ignore them anyway!
The Larabanga Mosque is thought to be the oldest mosque in Ghana and West Africa and one of the oldest buildings in West Africa. The dimensions of the mosque are approximately 8m by 8m. The mosque is made of mud and stick, in the Sudanese style. The mosque has to be renovated annually after the monsoon season. Next to the entrance is a large baobab tree. The mosque has four entrances: one each for the village chief, men, women, and the muezzin who leads the call to prayer. Larabanga is located just a few miles outside of Mole National Park.

The Kintampo waterfalls located at the Kumasi-Kintampo highway provides a panoramic scene and superbly display the beauty of nature. The falls are almost 25 metres high with a swimming pool at the base, easily reached by a series of concrete steps.
Women carry food on their heads as they walk through the Kantamanto market in downtown. The market is home to more than 30,00 traders, who sell most commonly secondhand clothing, and it the West African hub for used clothing from the west.

The poverty of West Africa has many levels. Although this woman looks destitute, she is much better off that most of the people I saw. Some live in dirt homes with palm roofs.

These is a lot going on here. The woman in the red t-shirt is selling small bags of water. The blue object on her head is for carrying objects. The root vegetables are yams, a staple food. I am guessing that the people going into Ahot's Spot are dressed up for a funeral. Power is available inside, presumably to charge your phone. Speaking of phones, notice the towers in the background; I found the phone coverage to be good throughout the country.

It was hard to tell the Ghana and Guinea supporters apart unless they were waving flags, since they were wearing the same colours. All fans were singing, dancing, and clapping together inflatable yellow hands.
