I am pretty sureyou would love this story They walked from South Africa to Israel : Africa Trek (I read it in its original language: French , but I am excited to see it is coming out in English ). What an adventure! It seems at first that this couple Alexandre and Sonia are like any other couple who love to travel , adventure and have enough love for one another to endure any hardship together. However what they did is completely out of the ordinary and it is almost a miracle , they were able to cross the entire continent of Africa on foot without assistance, sponsors, barely any money .nor did they know where they were going to be the next day. All they knew was they had to walk north , one foot step at a time. An adventure that could have failed without the kindness and generosity of the Africans, which helped them to understand what Africa is made of. It has never been done on foot, they were the first , and it easy to understand why when you read their books (Africa Trek I and Africa Trek II), they comprehend Africa and can teach us so much about it. Walking is the only way to be close to the people, the cultures, traditions with the richest and the poorest. It is objective and honest information on contemporary Africa and its people It was a life changing experience for them and could be for the reader. It helps us to better understand this misunderstood continent. Of course they went through their share of misadventure, sickness, hardship, but this book is more about lessons of life from people who have so little in way of material wealth but make the best of it, about love, about sharing and understanding If you have not read this book , I wish I could be in your place to relive the excitement of the journey that is awaiting you I think they have a mini series about their trip coming out on PBS check out this link on youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnZRO31vcPc best regards I read this amazing story about a couple who traversed the entire continent of Africa.

It displays search results in a handy lightbox-style format, so you can see many photos at once. For Flickr searches, I like using Compfight: http://compfight.com/

It's a mistake on my part not to have those attributions within this post. But I find the 18-24pt type is subtle enough that it's not distracting, but lets people review the slides after the fact and see the attribution... or sometimes sparks discussion about what I'm doing with the photos.

I've done the same, and my experience is that most CC images on Flickr are attribution required. I've never quite figured out an appropriate way to handle this in a talk. A readably-large credit on the slide is distracting to my presentation, but making a credit invisibly small seems to defeat the intent of the attribution license. Thoughts? :ian Hi, Ethan.
