Shadow Shot Sunday - Ouiskra

 a couple of years ago
the people of Ouiskra in the Atlas Mountains
celebrated their new school house..
..and the school bags and supplies donated for the 5 year olds so that they may go to school
and the village getting connected to mains electricity
it was a day for clapping and dancing...and drumming

Linking up with Tracy over at Hey Harriet.

    IF SHADOWS

    If shadows could jump,
    How high would they go?
    As high as the moon?
    Does anyone know?

    If shadows could weep,
    How long would they cry?
    As long as it takes
    To climb to the sky?

    If shadows could laugh
    And tell funny jokes
    Would you take them home
    And say, “Get this, folks!”?

    If shadows could wed,
    Would they prefer you
    Or somebody else
    To promise, “I do”?

  25. honestly Annabella I don't know how I'm missing all of these lovely posts. drats, but better late than never I guess.
    I love this photo for many reasons, but foremost because of the celebration of something that we here in the States take so for granted. sometimes I think we need to lose some of what we have in order to really see how much we do indeed have. this is rich. yes.
