You know they say that photography is power and word at the same time. I will be using the power of photography to add value to the Hive blockchain. I want to use photography to pass information in this post. Not everyone is lucky to be born in a first world economy and not everyone want to be in a country you are taxed for everything you do financially but my journey to the Osun Groove was a unique one, showing that people lived a free live not dependent on the government but on the fact that every day is meant to be a fun day.
My Name is Oket, and I call myself the minister of photography. The one who can speak, interact and read what a photograph is saying, and photography is my life. My love for photography has made me travel to so many states, cities and countries and in this post, I will be sharing both a travel Journal and to photography Journal/book.
Before the pandemic, I travelled to Osun state in Nigeria, West Africa to visit the sacred Osun Groove. I travelled from Ghana after doing a photography shoot for a friend Pascal. It was a 13 hours journey by road, meeting with fantastic people while on my journey.
We stopped at a Suya and Barbeque spot for lunch and waited for about an hour. I eat a plate of spicy Suya and I enjoyed it. Travelling gives you an exposure to other culture, norms and delicacies. Here are a few photographs of the moment.
The journeyed continued and I reached Osun at about 8:00 PM. Seeing a group of women cooking outside was fascinating. They were cooking Jollof Rice. I had a taste of it and retired to my lodge.
The next day, I was up early to the groove to see the beauty of art and the splendor of culture, it was breath taking. I had the opportunity to meet with other photographers from Brazil and Germany.
It was a fun experience, and I loved every moment of it. In my next post, I will be sharing more of my travel and photography.

You have posted the same post consecutively. Possibly a mistake as I'm sure you know that intentionally doing so would not be seen as very fair, and quite misleading to the community. It is a good post, but not worthy of being posted twice.
I'm very sorry, it was a mistake,I want to delete one out of it but I didn't know how to do it. Please accept my apology.
That's ok, at least you acknowledged it. No stress.
