Pictures in my Village, Ajapa || #Monomad Challenge

Hello Everyone.
I'm glad to be a part of this community and also to be joining the #Monomad challenge.

In this challenge, I am going to share black and white images of pictures taken at my village, Ajapa I will not just share the images but also drop brief notes of what the each picture was about.

Ajapa is a riverine community in Nigeria where house are built with planks, hardwoods and bamboo. The major occupation done there is fishing and palm wine tapping. Dwellers of the Ajapa travel by Canoe, small boats or Big boats as the case may be.
