Made In... #7

My last Around the World shot for this week and another souvenir brought to me by a friend who visited this warm country (in every way) on a short term mission trip. The brown shapes are cut out from dried banana peels! Want to take a guess as to where those bananas grew?
That is so neat - simple but beautiful! Um..... Equador?

I like the way you've made the lines of the peels and drawing diagonal to the shot. I haven't got a clue where the bananas grew, though.

Ghana? Looks like she is making fufu.

some where south

what a craft. I will try this line - philippine?

Great little piece of art!

Cool shot

Love it.

Uhm, I grow bananas in my garden, but I didn't make it. Bananas? Bananas? many places... but wearing that type of hat and using that large mortar makes me think of tropical Africa.

Thailand?

A really neat picture. No idea where the bananas were grown.

What a cool card! I'd guess somewhere in the Pacific... :)
September 15th, 2013  
No idea. Very nice.

These look like cards I've purchased in Indonesia, and ones I've seen in other southeast Asian countries. Well composed!
September 15th, 2013  
My guess would be Africa, maybe Nigeria or somewhere else in West Africa
September 15th, 2013  
Thailand or Viet Nam

Hi everyone! Many apologies for keeping you in suspense all day. We were visiting friends after church and I've just gotten on the computer! Well, this lovely little banana girl comes from Haiti. I also have a wonderful bottle of pure vanilla that came from there as well. It smells heavenly when you open the bottle!

Nice shot, Ann! Have no idea of the country but this is a nice gift. Well done :)
September 16th, 2013  
Lovely shot! I was thinking Caribbean but didn't know where... too late to the party to guess though.
September 16th, 2013  
Fun picture and great riddle. I was thinking Honduras.
September 16th, 2013  
@prttblues Thanks Bev! The answer was Haiti. It's not the only place where bananas are grown, but it's where this was made.
@pflaume Thanks Lisa!
@allie912 Thanks Allison!
