Rubber Trees

Note the strips of bark removed. This allowed the rubber to "leak" out of the tree and down into collecting buckets.




Oranges

This lady would sit most of the day outside of a auto parts stand and peel oranges to sell them. They went for three oranges per five dollars Liberian, or about 13 cents US per three oranges.




The road to Monrovia

That taxi was a small load compared to some of the cars I saw between Monrovia and Zwedru




Propaganda Ad

There are numerous signs like these throughout the country. They promote unity, AIDS awareness, TB cures, Rape prevention, and many other causes throughout the nation. One sign really disturbed me, "Labor is Not Dignified."




Welcome to Bong County

Just too funny...

Rubber Plants

How they collect the rubber used for tires, and many other things




Yes, they do have them

Women, boys, girls, and young men would carry items on their head, freeing up their arms.

Typical sight during my flights

It seemed to be cloudy over most of the flight to Africa and back. Except for a short couple of moments on my return trip and a time over the Sahara (when I couldn't get to my camera)




Flight back

Flying over Lake Michigan




Flight Back

Flying over the Atlantic Ocean. It was one of the few times that I didn't have complete cloud cover on my flight (and I wasn't asleep)




Jungle

Parts of the Rainforest in Liberia




Radio Tower

One of the previous rulers in Liberia wanted this radio station built, but it was bombed out during the civil unrest.




Young child

This kid asked me to take his photo. So I obliged.
