Colourful, gritty Kayole

TOP del.icio.us

Traveling for work in Kenya last month I got to visit one of Nairobi’s high density suburbs – Kayole. It’s a dense, organized, gritty, sprawling area with lots of colour, sadly little of which comes from nature’s green. All around is grey concrete or brown earth. Persuasive advertising, colourful clothes and bright smiles help to raise your spirits in the midst of the litter and poverty.
