WLI, GHANA (AREA AROUND WLI WATERFALLS PLUS HOHOE), PART TWO
Wli Waterfalls is in extreme eastern Ghana, very close to the border with Togo. See Part One of the Wli section to see the falls. The pictures below are nearby, including the forest and stream below the falls, the town of Wli and the larger town of Hohoe.

The stream below Wli waterfalls...







A lot of trees have buttressed trunks around here...



Contrast between a dry steep slope and the wet forest below...



A cliff near the stream...



A large area next to the forest had burnt just three months before...





Back in the forest were these black ants...



Here is some kind of red beetle...



A butterfly in the forest...



A West African Albizia tree (Albizia zygia) in the forest...



Non-native (instead, native to Central America) but common in Ghana were these Gliricida sepium trees...





A common aroid, Thaumatococcus danielii near the stream...



Some kind of Arisaema (a jack-in-the-pulpit like plant)...



The small town of Wli...





A common dish in Ghana, red red, which is plantains with beans or black-eyed peas (eaten at a place in Wli)...



Burning under the teaks on the outskirts of Wli...



And now some pictures from Hohoe, a mid-sized town (about 50,000 people) about 15 miles to the west...

One of the streets in Hohoe with a bicyclist carrying wood on his head while riding...



A church in Hohoe...



A nearby neighborhood, this one with a small mosque...



Someone getting a haircut...



Many of the houses in this neighborhood appear not to have running water, so there is a communal tank..



Many of these tanks are fed by rain water...



Some food in Hohoe, a vegetarian palaver dish with boiled yams...



A small stream near the edge of town with some agriculture along the banks...



At the very edge of town...an oil palm farm (with the also ubiquitous coconut palm to the left)...





All of the above pictures on this page were taken in February 2014 by Brandt Maxwell.
