HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

I’ve decided to start off this year’s posts with a small collection of sunrise and sunset photographs I shot around Lagos over 2012 on my iPhone. Particularly driving through the city, in between the hustle and bustle of Lagos living, I can’t help but stop and take in the beautiful scenery whenever I get the chance.

Here’s wishing you all a beautiful 2013!

Oke Idanre - Ondo, Nigeria

The location of these hills is about 24 kilometres southwest of Akure the Ondo state capital.

The town is divided into Viz, the new settlement which is at the foot of the hills and Oke-Idanre the old settlements on the top of the hills.

There is the hill top sanctuary of Idanre, which consists of about 640 steps. These necessitated the construction of five resting posts along the steps to the top. At the top of the hill, there is an intriguing footprint, which is widely believed to enlarge or contract to accommodate every foot. It is as well believed that anybody whose foot does not exactly fit into the footprint is considered to be a witch or a wizard.

The cultural relics in term of gods, goddesses and traditional arts can still be seen in addition to the old palace built around the 17th century. The panoramic view of the new Idanre never fails to fascinate first time visitors.
