The contrasts

The day of the power cuts. Sunday I was driven 1.5 hours East towards the Togo border to a village called Ada. There a hotel on the lagoon estuary which carried the River Volta to the Atlantic was home for few hours. The scenery was as so different from the suburbs of Accra. (Photos on Flickr).

When I wake up in the morning the view first thing is a contrast. In fact the suburb is full of unfinished houses. The office kitchen window is different, (Photo here) looking out onto the site vehicles used by the engineers and the greenness of the plant and tree life is rich is colour.

Had another power cut last night (Tuesday) Seems to be a regular occurence. I am putting down under cultural, not phased about it! Sorry couldnt resist that.
