FISHING TRIP WITH HIPPOS

from the 'Life Along Nigerian Rivers' series
When we took fishing trips, depending on the location we went to, sometimes we had to share the area with hippos, which made it both unique and fun, but also dangerous.
CANOE CROSSING
Acrylic painting
from the "Life Along Nigerian Rivers" series
Where my parents live in Niger State, Nigeria (about an hour out of the town of Kontagora), you have to cross a river in order to get to their house among the Avadi people. In the rainy season you have to take a canoe across, because the water depth can fluctuate between 5ft and 20ft depending on the rains. Makes life interesting!
