This week's challenge was: abandoned. I immediately thought of when we went mine hunting in Angola. The mines are left behind from the civil war in Angola that ended only ten years ago. We went to watch what a Norwegian organisation was doing there to remove the mines so that it does not harm the Angolan people living nearby. The first picture is for the challenge, a mine abandoned by the army, the rest are just bonuses! :-)
We also got to see another project where they are teaching rats to smell where there is TNT. The rats are so light that they can't trigger the mines to explode. When the rat finds a mine, it scratches the ground where the mine is located, as shown in the third picture below.
The "body guard" ;)
Photos that I am in are of course, not taken by me.
