A misty view of the River Niger from the top of the "Niger bridge".

A misty view of the River Niger obscured by the iconic "X" design of the railings on the Niger Bridge. There is a tiny peninsula extending from the mainland into the river.

From my photo archives taken 10 years ago today - The famous "River Niger" which the colonizers used to claim was discovered by their Mungo Park (1771 - 1806). 🙄

The English name after which two West African countries were named (yes, by colonizers).
