Lake Bosomtwi




Katrina came out to Ghana in August for a holiday with her friend, Patrick, and I went down to Kumasi to meet her. We took a trip out to this beautiful lake, surrounded by wooded hills. Fishermen drifted on the lake on wooden canoes, casting their nets into the water. The anthropologist, Rattray, took photos of the lake in the 1920s and it looks little different from the grainy photos which were published in his ethnographies of the Ashanti.
