"friendlies"

No one will agree to take off their shirt as an identification as the
opposing team. A pre match penalty shootout was undertaken and the
losing team took off their shirts to avoid a mixup in the "friendly"
match. The match was quite friendly but had some "hairy" moments.

"The Doctor"

The dry hazy skyline is the unmistakable presence of the Harmattan
season. The Harmattan is a dry and dusty West African trade wind. It
blows south from Sahara into the Gulf of Guinea between the end of
November and the middle of March. The rains cease and water bodies
experience a decline on their levels. However, the cool wind brings
relief from the oppressive heat, which is why the Harmattan has earned
the nickname "The Doctor". So when a couple of photographer friends
from the U.S and the U.K respectively joined us for a day’s photo
walk, water becomes the subject matter. Up the hills, we took a 10
minute walk down the valley to “photodocument” the “diminishing” river
(barely a stream now) water level. Interesting was the number of girls
going down for water and the arduous task of climbing back up. In all,
they still managed a smile for our cameras.
