Today Wednesday I took a walk around my neighborhood in Gaa-Akanbi LGA, of Ilorin Nigeria, and i came across a stream that use to be filled, now dry and scanty due to the Harmattan season.

I set out of the house, and after walking for about 5 minutes, I saw this building where some masquerade tree stood like a soldier on attention.

After walking ahead I saw this half dead orange 🍊 tree, which one half of it Bossom with oranges while the other part is dry and with leafs.

I left a arrive at the place where the stream use to be, and was amazing to discover that it's almost completely dry up.

It's quite surprising because, the stream actual divided two neighborhood, which you can go across until you walk about a mile to locate the bridge that was built across it, and I could remember while I was growing up and had to walk through the stream alongside my elder brother, because he felt walking miles to just cross a stream that he can walk through is not worth it.

I move closer and took more photos before heading back home.

Though this is normal, cause that's how the stream. Usually dry up during the Harmattan season. But am always amazed at how rivers and streams froze In Europe.

I appreciate @tattoodjay for setting up the #Wednesdaywalk community.

Thanks for stopping by, have a blessed day ahead

It looks like it would be such a great stream when it has water in it and such a shame that it doesnt and everything is getting too thirsty and dying there!

Also such a shame that there is so much rubbish in the stream and no-one cleans it up...

Yea it's a great stream and a lovely sight to behold when it's filled with water, once the Harmattan season wrap up and the rain start falling, then it's will go back to it old self.

It's really a shame how people liters the ground and everywhere, we've complain overtime,but there's no changes, and the government are not helping out cause they didn't install waste bin In most part of the city.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, have a pleasant night rest.

Well I hope that it rains for you guys really soon!!!

Yes and it doens't matter where in the world you are, how rich or poor and how many rubbish bins are around, people still litter..it's soooo disappointing and disgusting that people are so lazy and inconsiderate of each other and even themselves, for their rubbish, washes into the oceans and end up in the stomachs of the fish they want to eat...or the other animals that they eat...
