Streets of Nairobi

It's quite a different scene from the U.S. around the city of Nairobi. I have attached some of the various images that are commonly seen.

Some local habitation.
Here we travel along a high end neighborhood on our way to a well kept but very modest community.

Manicured landscaping for the the diplomats. There is a part of town where all you see is luxurious large housing with high security.

These chickens are actually alive and calmly dangling from the bike during transport.

This ancient looking variety of bird is a common sight in the trees near downtown. For some strange reason the ground is often white underneath the trees.

Here is a residential part of town - somewhat nice by Kenyan standards, maybe middle class.

Here is an area that is quite upscale. What you can't see from the main road is that there is a large slum located down a road behind these buildings.

Everyday downtown.

This view from our office building shows one of the fanciest sky-scrapers in town.

On the bottom right of the screen notice the 2 towers with white caps. This is a Muslim masque where they make regular incantations over the loud speakers. There is also a masque near our dental clinic in South C; they blare their strange singing as early as 5:30am. It's quite annoying and I am looking forward to the peace and quite outside the city.
