Roadside sights

As a frequent traveler, I've come across sights and scenes that are often amazing and interesting in equal measure. Here is a collection (pictorial) of a few.

Harvesting grass. Women and girls transport their grass harvest home, which will be used for roofing their houses. This harvest is done in the dry season when the grass is fully grown and the its drying process has began. 

The coke side of life. A large coca cola-shaped kiosk stands next to other make-shift sheds along a busy highway. Such sights are common in Uganda, and provide travelers with water or other refreshing beverages while on the go.

Roadside venders interacting with travelers aboard a bus hoping to interest them (travelers) in their merchandise. The good range from food items to art pieces and stools. 

A lady stands next to her stock of grinding stones and pots that are on sale. The grinding stones are used for grinding grains while the pots are often used for holding drinking water, cooking , or serving local brew. 

A cluster of mangoes hanging on a tree trunk along the roadside. The mangoes ended up in a polyethylene bag and came with us. 

Buying more mangoes.

A women's group sell shea butter oil (in those plastic bottles on the tables). The oil is got from the shea nut tree, which is common in the West Nile region.

Pick-up truck transports cargo from a farm to town.
