Despite a newly built well, the villagers of Tafi Atome still prefer the taste of water from the stream 10 minutes walk away.

Shot in Tafi Atome, Ghana.

    Lovely shot, so much activity. I like the baby legs poking out from either side of the woman in the middle.

    great shot. makes me wonder if they asked the people before they put in the well, or imposed and just put it in anyways. Are you constantly travelling?

    Cool shot Nick, loads of activity. Which water did you prefer? As a seasoned traveller I am sure you were not so rude as to pull out the Evian in front of the villagers.
