The Bush Chicken presents this photography editorial in commemoration of our Discover Liberia week.
Beyond the Lens is a compilation of photos that have been taken in Liberia which highlight the wonderful people, places, nature and culture that weave the fabric which is Liberia.
Outside of Liberia, the imagery associated with this beautiful country often does not match the reality that its citizens experience and view daily. Â The purpose of this photo editorial is to continue to show Liberians abroad as well as our friends across the globe what Liberia truly has to offer.
We would love to receive photos of places or people in Liberia which uniquely speak to you. Submit at info@bushchicken.com. Check back on our Facebook page to see if one of your photos has chosen to be featured during our Discover Liberia week.

In Liberia, there are no parking meters. These parking enforcement agents issue parking tickets and ensure that drivers pay for the time parked in the city limits of Central Monrovia.
