Its time to party for the harvest festival, which occurs in many communities in northern Ghana around this time. The sleepy town of Lawra was busting with hundreds of people, as everyone comes home from all over Ghana to visit family, friends, watch a football match, dance competitions, see a hunting demonstration, and a enjoy a large market. Here are just 2 images from that weekend (internet is too slow to add more.. sorry!). I think what I will remember most is how loud the guns were.. I was filming a procession of the chiefs and a gun went off close by and it took me awhile to get my hearing back.. i moved away after that!
