It is also\u00a0where this little photographer\u00a0called home for many, many years; and one that has nestled itself rather close to my heart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv1880800835MsoNormal\">Anytime I have the opportunity to visit, I try to think of ways in which I\u00a0could\u00a0share some part of the Ghanaian culture with you.
