A group of children navigate a makeshift raft across the serene waters of Lake Tana, Ethiopia. The children, some carrying books and backpacks, are likely on their way back home from school, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of rural communities in this beautiful region.

This image is one of seven inspired by the MacroMondays theme of "Games." I have done several games in the past, but dug into our game closet for this week's macro shoot...
This is a shot of a really neat game called "Constellation - the Space Race Game" from the Green Board Game Co. (www.greenboardgames.com) - not a well-known game but still a very good way to teach kids where the constellations are and what some of the major star names are as well.
For those of you who have been following my photostream, this should be a familiar scene - see the 360° Star Panorama I uploaded yesterday...
As always, thanks for your views, comments and favorites...!

I am the capitan of my ship and the leader of where I want my dream to be. Therefore, the universe is a part of me and I can tell that I am not scared to sail on the ocean. You may not always understand me, but this is the moment I want to say: "Just look into my eyes and trust me."
Things will not be easy, but if we keep on going, success will be known. Only adventures will help us having new horizons.

Jan. 5 - Powerful story for all ages - grades 6 to age 106!
Embark on an amazing journey with two boys and experience "...pirates, buried secrets, mysterious encounters, a hidden cave, a great Appalachian bear, and a timber rattlesnake..."
More importantly, the story invites the reader to connect the dots and "be a part of connections, intersections, and collisions...."
Clare Vanderpool most certainly connects the dots with a beautiful story about human nature. A must read for all ages! Will this book be another Newbery winner? Her first, Moon over Manifest, won the ALA 2011 Newbery Gold for best in children's literature.

The Churchill Barriers are a series of four causeways in the Orkney Islands, Scotland, with a total length of 2.3 km (1.5 miles). They link the Orkney Mainland in the north to the island of South Ronaldsay via Burray and the two smaller islands of Lamb Holm and Glimps Holm.
The barriers were built in the 1940s primarily as naval defences to protect the anchorage at Scapa Flow, but now serve as road links, carrying the A961 road from Kirkwall to Burwick.
On 14 October 1939, the Royal Navy battleship HMS Royal Oak was sunk at her moorings within the natural harbour of Scapa Flow, by the German U-boat U-47 under the command of Günther Prien. U-47 had entered Scapa Flow through Holm Sound, one of several eastern entrances to Scapa Flow.
The eastern passages were protected by measures including sunken block ships, booms and anti-submarine nets, but U-47 entered at night at high tide by navigating between the block ships.
To prevent further attacks, the First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill ordered the construction of permanent barriers. Work began in May 1940 and the barriers were completed in September 1944, but were not officially opened until 12 May 1945, four days after the end of World War II in Europe.
The contract for building the barriers was awarded to Balfour Beatty, although part of the southernmost barrier (between Burray and South Ronaldsay) was sub-contracted to William Tawse & Co. The first Resident Superintending Civil Engineer was E K Adamson, succeeded in 1942 by G Gordon Nicol.
Preparatory work on the site began in May 1940, while experiments on models for the design were undertaken at Whitworth Engineering Laboratories at the University of Manchester.
The bases of the barriers were built from gabions enclosing 250,000 tonnes of broken rock, from quarries on Orkney. The gabions were dropped into place from overhead cableways into waters up to 18 metres deep. The bases were then covered with 66,000 locally-cast concrete blocks in five-tonne and ten-tonne sizes. The five-tonne blocks were laid on the core, and the ten-tonne blocks were arranged on the sides in a random pattern to act as wave-breaks.
A project of this size required a substantial labour force, which peaked in 1943 at over 2,000.
Much of the labour was provided by over 1300 Italian prisoners of war whom had been captured in the desert war in North Africa, and were transported to Orkney from early 1942 onwards. As the use of POW labour for War Effort works is prohibited under the Geneva Conventions, the works were justified as 'improvements to communications' to the southern Orkney Islands
The prisoners were accommodated in three camps, 600 at Camp 60 on Little Holm and the remaining 700 at two camps on Burray. Those at Camp 60 built the ornate Italian Chapel which still survives and has become a tourist attraction.
