PhotoPOSTcard: Early Morning Commute

African woman carrying a basket on her head

Last Updated on 10/12/20 by Rose Palmer

I have seen this many times in Africa – women effortlessly carrying large loads balanced on their head as they easily walk from one place to another. In this case, it was early morning on Jacaranda Beach in Kenya, and this young woman was carrying a basket half as tall as she was, while wearing flip flops and walking in the shifting sand, taking supplies to one of the nearby beach restaurants. This must be the secret to why African women have such beautiful long and graceful lines to their figures.

Thanks for visiting.
