Weekly #8


This is a picture of US president Barack Obama visiting a classroom that is part of the new “Head Start” program. He stated that he believed that the program was quite valuable to US education, and that it would help a lot of students. This was taken in Yeadon, PA at the Regional Head Start Center.

This is a picture of people relaxing and swimming in the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is part of the 28 finalists for the New Seven Wonders of the World competition. The Dead Sea is extremely full of minerals, and people go there for it to help their skin and bodies. The New Seven Wonders of the World contest was a contest held online, and the winners would be determined by mobile voting.



This is a picture of Meena Rahmani, who opened the first bowling alley in Kabul. She intends it as a place for men, women, and children to relax and forget about the struggles that war-torn Afghan is now facing. Rahmani has put about a million dollars towards this center, hoping that the ideas of fun and enjoyment will spread and be popular. I chose this as my focus picture because it shows how any country can really start to get back on its feet with help from its citizens, which is part of human geography.

This is a picture of Russian troops dressed in historical uniforms to parade through Moscow’s Red Square. This was for the 70th anniversary of when the soldiers of the Soviet Army marched through the same Red Square during World War 2 to join the front lines.

This is a picture of the devastating landslides in Western Colombia. At least 24 people were estimated dead, and they have dogs searching for many more under the rubble and debris after many houses were carried away.
