Hello Everyone.
I'm glad to be a part of this community and also to be joining the #Monomad challenge.
In this challenge, I am going to share black and white images of pictures taken at my village, Ajapa I will not just share the images but also drop brief notes of what the each picture was about.
Ajapa is a riverine community in Nigeria where house are built with planks, hardwoods and bamboo. The major occupation done there is fishing and palm wine tapping. Dwellers of the Ajapa travel by Canoe, small boats or Big boats as the case may be.
Above is a picture of my brothers in a big boat, on their way to grace the wedding ceremony of my cousin.
This is a picture of my brothers and I in a shot at the venue of my cousin's wedding ceremony.
This is a picture of a house built by the side of the river. I took this picture when I was on my way out on a small boat.
This is the picture of some of my family members going out on a small boat. I took this picture while I and some others accompanied them in another small boat.
This is my village setting. Most of the houses are built on water and transportation is by canoe and boats on water.
This is my aunty husband's compound. I took it from the upstairs, one of the buildings in the compound.
That is the upstairs. Wharfs are constructed as walkways to link buildings.
This is a picture of me on a Sunday dressed up. I took this picture in the same compound.
This is my entry for the #Monomad challenge. Thank you.
