Mwila tribe children - Angola These little girls from the Mumuhuila tribe live near Chibia, in the south of Angola. They wear the traditional hairstyle and the big necklace. The necklace shows if they are teens or not. They still are children as the necklace is simple, with beads.

"Every year on the Japan trip we have on average one or two days with hoar frost, in my opinion one of the prettiest winter conditions you can get. On this particular morning we had left our ryokan long before sunrise to see the whooper swans wake up, and watch their fascinating morning rituals. When we got closer to the lake I noticed the hoar frost and decided to take the group to one of my favorite and very quiet spots." from nature photographer marsel van oosten

Amy Dorminey they were probably very safe. Elephants are remarkably non-aggressive as long as they have not been mistreated, the only exception being males in "musth"."

Mrs Maathai was cremated in a casket made of bamboo, water hyacinth and papyrus so that no trees would be cut down Wangari Maathai, Nobel winner, laid to rest in Kenya A state funeral for Nobel Peace Prize winner and environmentalist Wangari Maathai has taken place at a Kenyan national park she fought to save. Mrs Maathai, whose Green Belt Movement planted an estimated 45 million trees in Kenya, died last month of cancer. Thousands of mourners lined the route of the procession to the funeral in Uhuru National Park in Nairobi. President Mwai Kibaki praised her courage, tenacity and “selfless service to the nation”. Mrs Maathai, who died on 25 September, was the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, in 2004. She won the award for her campaigns to promote conservation, women’s rights and transparent government.
