23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
"Quality Mannequins" for Sale on a Very Busy Street of the Adjame District Piqued my Curiosity

My tour bus driver drove me through the busy center of the Adjame district of Abidijan. Looking up, I espied a series of windows and balconies all displaying mannequins both naked and clothed. A sign in French identified them as "quality mannequins" and women's wear for sale, wholesale and retail.
