Obama in Ghana. Child's shirt. The first layout was made for a black shirt. For the present design we used a photo from the official photostream of The white house on flickr. Have a look on the original photo which was made by Pete Souza in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, Mai 14, 2009. Design by Stefan for Monde Perso. Obama in Ghana 007 (oig-007). (0071).

The idea to create a collection of shirts for Obama’s first visit as elected President of the United States to an African country came up with the first news mid May. German designer and photographer Stefan Meisel who’s living in Abidjan, Ivory Coast since 2007 made the first layouts in the first days of June, together with designer Yves Dossou who created already a street wear collection for the Ivory Coast in 2002. The both creative are working together since February 2009 to bring fresh air in West African street wear. The studios and ateliers are beside the front shop called “Monde Perso” – which is a French catchword for “Create your own (personal) world” - in the centre of Abidjan.

Designer et photographe allemand Stefan Meisel qui vit à Abidjan en Côte d'Ivoire depuis 2007 a fait la première mise en page dans les premiers jours de Juin en collaboration avec le designer Yves Dossou qui a créé déjà une collection street wear pour la Côte d'Ivoire en 2002. Les deux créateurs travaillent ensemble depuis Février 2009 pour donner un nouveau souffle au street wear en Afrique de l'Ouest. Les studios et les ateliers sont à côté du magasin "Monde Perso" dans le centre d'Abidjan

THE KID WHO REFUSED TO LEAVE HIS WATER FORT WHILE HIS MOTHER KEPT YELLING AT HIM THAT IT WAS TIME TO GO HOME

That's right, the engineers and designers of the Dam's "intake river for kids" decided to put a lot of movable rocks in the river-bed so that kids could be creative in coming up with their own mid-steam structures.
It seems that I have been spending quite a bit of Flickr time posting photos of rivers and waterfalls found far, far away in the northern mountains of Okinawa --- all the while completely ignoring a great little spot for Families and kids that is pretty close to my house, and JUST OUTSIDE KADENA AIR BASE !
OK...HERE WE GO !
NOTE ON THIS 130-YARD-LONG RIVER :
An Okinawan engineer had the good idea to let the local OKINAWA CITY KIDS and US AIR FORCE MILITARY BRATS play in the fresh mountain water from Northern Okinawa, just before it enters the Reservoir of Central Okinawa's largest Dam and Water Supply.
So, they designed the water-feed outlet that brings the water from the Mountains to be disguised as a series of small waterfalls and a shallow, natural bottomed swimming hole for little kids, followed by a 130-yard sand-and-pebble-bottomed fresh-water creek for parents with toddlers.
The water that flows into this river arrives via a huge underground pipe-and-tunnel system from FOUR RIVERS in Northern Okinawa --- THREE rivers in Motobu Peninsula, and ONE (the YONA RIVER) almost 36 miles away near the northern end of the island.
The babbling creek is designed to be only inches deep, and is seen at its minimum flow in this Flickr set.
When they open the valves to bring in a heavier flow, the extra few inches expand the width of the Children's River" to cover the yellow patches you see on either side.
There are closely spaced, immovable flat boulders to let you cross and keep your feet dry.
On the other hand, the designers also added small and medium size rocks the to stream so that kids could move them around to make their own "Water Forts" and other flow-diversion creations.
The colors of green in this set are constantly changing from photo-to-photo as the sun dodged in and out from behind the clouds.
