Among all routes in Northern Nigeria, this is the best segment I enjoy driving in most. It's a 30 km forest consevation stretch popularly called Dajin Falgore in Kano State. It's part of the northern guinea savanna that stretches from Taraba to Kebbi State - in those days. Now, it's only in few places like Falgore, Lame-Burra and Yankari forest reserves does the semblance of what was a thick forest just 100 years ago remains.
Whenever I drive to Kano, Falgore gives me my best 15 minutes of the week. Here in the pictures were scenes taken during the early evening hours of my return leg. The yellow sun is there again, as it is always at home, with the shades that cast themselves on the tarred road, side grasses and the different depths of the vegetation's green that permanently encapsulates your vision until the last moment in the forest. The beauty of the happy looking White Fulani cows returning from grazing adds the white colour that balances the bright blue sky above with clusters of white clouds. The beauty is breathtaking.
Kanawa an gaisheku. Sannunku da kokari.
