2006 saw me tackle West Africa for the first time. I had such plans for staying around a month in Ghana, but for some reason I wasn’t in the right frame of mind when I was there. I was overwhelmed by the place to be honest, which hasn’t happened to me very often. I stayed less than two weeks and only visited the capital Accra, Cape Coast and Elmina in my short time in Ghana. When I look back at my pictures as always I wish I had taken more, but also I wish I’d stuck it out and visited the middle of the country (there’s a hat museum I am really bummed I didn’t get to) and really got to know Ghana.
Here are some choice snaps I took whilst I was there. Honestly they make the place look very pleasant and if it wasn’t for the oppressive humidity, I probably would have had a completely didn’t set of memories of the place.
Well I hope this piqued a little interest into this West African country! Take care, and until next time – May the Journey Never End!

I really like the way you take pictures, mate. You always capture daily life in a very nice way. Ghana is the fascinating photography destination and I hope to make it there one day to take some nice pictures as well!
Great pictures from a part of the world we don’t get to see much of! And that pic of the bay in Elmina looks intense!
Great post! I especially love the photos of Elmina..and that very cool shot of the girl blowing bubbles! Traveling through West Africa has been one of my dreams ever since I was a kid in middle school…posts like this really renew that wish 🙂
2006 is a very long time. There’s been a lot of development in Ghana especially in Accra. Please do come back and visit. The time do visit the Northern parts of Ghana – Paga Crocodile Pond ( these crocodiles are human friendly and they don’t bite. There’s a legend behind it. )
Kintampo Water falls is also beautiful place to visit and many more.
im sure it has! Thank you so much for reading and commenting! I hope I can get back to Ghana one day!
I sincerely hope so.
