A nickel-sized bundle of love 14 views Brian Yates Brazilian Ecosystems Rowan University
I found this amazing little frog in the Atlantic Forest, calling for a mate from a rock near a small pond. He was quite loud for his extremely small size. This species is known to exhibit satellite behavior, in which females who approach other males to mate will actually be approached and mate with males who hang out around the male with the loudest call. The diversity of amphibians in Brazil is among the highest in the world, and we observed many other frogs of various sizes and shapes.

"Purification" Photo By Emily Schlickman, Washington University in St. Louis, Japan Program83 viewsTenkawa Village
This is a photo of Ermine Algaier performing a purification
ritual underneath a waterfall in Tenkawa Village during the month of
November. This is one of the first rituals performed by "Shugendo"
practitioners--mountain ascetics--before entering the mountains. It
serves to purify one's mind so that it is in the correct state for
practice.

Berlin Art-Environmentally friendly 14 viewsShelter Musasa Europe in Transition Earlham College
Berlin is full of art but this one was extraordinary because it showed how much more environmentally/energy focused Europe is. The Art resembles the designs of their roads that cater for pedestrians and cyclist in order to reduce the usage of cars and carbon emissions.

"The Forgotten" Photo By Torre Johnson, Oberlin College, Europe in Transition Program49 viewsI went one morning to go to an old Pagan festival on the Mound of Krak. One legend is that an old king of Krakow had been buried under the mound. The festival commemorates his memory and time. The problem was that we had only a vague idea how to get there. We took many trams and eventually stopped in area that seemed likely to be the place. Somehow we picked the right stop and spotted the mound, although we still had no idea how to physically get there. We decided to walk in a straight line to the mound and to climb whatever fences were in our way. As we got closer we came upon a some burnt down buildings. There were around six of them. Graffiti covered many of the walls. There were no signs to tell us what the place was, but the fence posts were reminiscent of Auschwitz. The only visible sign that this place had any importance was a circle of rocks ranging 25 feet in diameter. They had obviously been placed there by someone and for some reason. I thought that this place might have been a work camp, but could not believe it because of the condition of it and mostly because there had not been something more substantial marking the importance of it. I later discovered that it was a work camp during World War II and was shocked at how easy it is for people to forget places like this.
