people hanging on a moving train from Accra to Nsawam



Gone are the days where there were enough trains in the country for everyone who wish to travel by train due to its affordability. now it is very rare to see a train in Ghana but if that happens, you see many people risking their life, hanging on the edges of the train just for a free transportation. these people forget how risky it is for them and how this unconscious act of theirs can cause them.
 
please add your critique. thank you.

    Yea, I think those are very good, I like them, but still with the positioning but unless u probably chose it as a style, other than that I think you should position yourself so everything come out clearly to tell the story well one it's on a blog and also on the interbet.
    For example, I like the first photo, for me lighting and all that is quite good. The second photo is also as good. However, the photo did not tell te end of the train. At least far from the beginning end, part of the train shows and it alos shows people glued to it (terrible though)but did not show the end of the train... and I think it is still a matter of positioning.. it probably was fine for you because you are familiar with the situation and know waht it is and Ghanaians as well since the situation revolves around them. But for someone who is not familiar with the situation it's a bit ambigious, it looks like people are only having fun and doesn't really tell te severity of the issue, which I guess you seek to portray.
    Like the first one its so clear because it shows the full train and the rail lines. I guess you wasnted a close photo with the second one. You could have gone a little further back to give it the short angle lense and it would have still been close and still with the rails and the end of the train. Positioning...... was fine fine though. I like them!

    WHAT WILL BE THE FATE OF THESE TRAVELLERS IN THE EVENT OF A MISHAP? DOES THE RAIL TRANSPORT SECTOR HAVE MECHANISMS TO CHECK SOME OF THESE EXCESSES? WHEN AT ALL WILL WE LEARN AS A PEOPLE?

    Government must take a critical look at the rail or train transport system because this is not right. At 56, we must pass this stage.

BEAUTY AND LIFESTYLE – BE-YOU-TIFUL

Image
   Beauty, to many is the way people look outwardly and inwardly.   Others limit beauty to the physical looks of a person, place or a   thing. Beauty can also be seen in the culture and lifestyle of people.   This is to say beauty goes far beyond physical looks especially     now,  with the pressure of daily demands and busy schedules, some   people hardly have the time to even look into the mirror or take   proper care of themselves.  Moreover, the way people dress, talk and even live also brings out   some beauty in them. Thus the saying “there is beauty in diversity”.   The knowledge of "beauty" often involves the understanding of   some entity as being in stability and harmony with nature. Physical   beauty often implies sexual attractiveness or desirability, but can   also be distinct from the two. Since beauty is a subjective   experience, it is often said that "beauty lies in the eye of the   beholder". A subject of beauty is anything tha

Unravelling the Legal Maze: A Startling Journey into the Laws Governing the Ghana Flag and the Coat of Arms

Image
  -By Hubert Tieku The saying which goes like, “we live to learn” , immediately made sense to when I had the shock of the year, 2024. And I believe almost all my friends who range from law students to lawyers and almost all lay persons will be equally shocked when they learn about some of the laws to which my eyes were just opened. I am saying this because I see them flout these laws “unknowingly” on a daily basis. One faithful morning, I was introduced to my senior and in the course of the introduction he passed a comment which led to the writing of this article. That morning I had a badge of the coat of arms on the collar of my suit jacket. Upon seeing the coat of arms he asked me why I was wearing it and I replied “I am wearing it to demonstrate my patriotism” . He said, “kindly go and read the laws on Ghana’s flag and emblem and come and tell me if you are actually allowed to wear the coat of arms on your suit.” At that moment I said to my self, “of course I am allowed to wear it b

A PERSONAL VIEW ON: “In The Lonely, Good Company of Books” by Richard Rodriguez

Image
                           The piece of literature brings out efforts and struggles in reading tough or difficult books. From Rodriguez’s experience which tells us that reading difficult books for a sense of self-achievement is not a good way to read. On his part, Rodriguez just reads for a sense of accomplishment as it brings him confidence after helping him to conquer the awkward silence during reading time. The idea that “books will make [him] ‘educated’” helps him “to overcome [his] fear of silence” while reading. He never knew what kinds of books were most interesting to him. He blindly followed the book list without even realizing what he needed. What Rodriguez was enthusiastic about was never the content of the book but the ability to claim that he had finished it. He mocks the experience by ironically describing his feeling after reading with “in a ceremony of great pride”. The writer drew our attention to the fact that, when reading, we must read for knowledge and understand
