Hark Back

There was once, long ago, a day when Africa had a chance. Sadly, it seems, that day has passed.Here are four photos I took in West Africa, which I remember fondly, many years ago.


Transportation, Kano, Nigeria, August, 1965



Young Girl, Kano, Nigeria, August, 1965



Waiting for the mammy wagon (as was I), Kano, Nigeria, August, 1965



Court in session, Kaduna, Nigeria, August, 1965


It will take a concerted effort .......

But maybe there is hope. See Gobou's photos.

Nice photos! I especially like the one of the kid at the bus stop. I sure hope there's hope.

Thanks for your comment, oaktown pablo. Me too on the hope. But I'm afraid there is a very long row to hoe for all ..
