Christmas day clothes

Along the road between Kisumu and Eldoret, Rift Valley Province, Kenya December 2007.

A Christmas day. As we traveled rural Kenya on Christmas day, the most prominent sight was children dressed in their new or best clothes walking down the road. They were usually on their way to church, or to see family, or friends. Although there were few other signs to indicate Christmas, one could not help but notice that it was indeed a special day. A Photographically, it is hard to get better pictures than of happy young people in matching clothes the visuals are excellent.

    Good job guys.
    the picture reminds me of the times one would anxiously wait for Christmas season inorder to acquire new clothes and show them off during Sunday services on the Christmas week. the clothes would later become a favourite and turn into Sunday bests till the next Christmas in readiness for the new clothes……..thank God ave grown older.
