    Children walk to class at the Mek'ele Blind School. The campus is split into two sections, sprawled over a large dusty compound. Their dormitories, the staff office, canteen and toilet block are separated from the classroom blocks by an area of rough terrain and vegetation, meaning the children naturally navigate the campus in groups for safety
    World Sight Day, Mek?ele Blind School, Ethiopia
    Mek'ele Blind School in Ethiopia is home to around 100 children, whose companionship and passion for their education is inspiring to encounter.

    Photographer Tom Pullen visited the school last year, which lies on the outskirts of the city of Mek'ele in the vast northern Tigray region of Ethiopia.

    You Floated My Battleship! The Superships That Carry Superloads
    When the weighty problem of transporting superloads around the world arises, a bulky breed of superships are ready to take up the challenge.

    But rather than standard cargo containers, these vessels are capable of floating unimaginable loads including full oil rigs, multiple nuclear-powered submarines and, in one epic voyage, 18 barges from China to the Netherlands.

    Currently, the Australian Navy are employing the services of Netherlands-based shipping company Dockwise's MV Blue Marlin, the largest cargo transport ship in the world.

    The ship is transporting the first of two aircraft carrier hulls from Spain to Melbourne.

    The Australian Landing Helicopter Dock (ALHD) Canberra is the first to commence the 12,000 nautical mile voyage around the Cape of Good Hope, estimated to be completed in 45 days after setting off on 20 August from Punta Langosteira, a new large port just south of La Coruna, northern Spain.

    Spanish company Navantia has completed construction of the ships from the keel to the flight deck, and now the hulls are being transported for completion by BAE Systems Australia. The second hull, the ALHD Adelaide, will be transported in early 2014.

    Blue Marlin is more than up to the task, being 712ft in length, larger than two football pitches, 138ft deep and able to carry 75,000 tonnes. That said, the ALHD Canberra is so large it overhangs the Blue Marlin deck by 180ft.

    Blue Marlin's load capability also meant it was the ship of choice for the U.S. Navy when they had to transport the stricken destroyer USS Cole back to the United States after the warship was damaged by an Al-Qaeda suicide bomber attack while anchored in the port of Aden, Yemen.

    The Blue Marlin is manned by a 24 crew and is powered by 17,000 horsep...

    "Save our Earth" says a painted section of the Berlin Wall at the East Side Gallery in Berlin, Germany. The East Side Gallery retains a 1.3km section of the Berlin Wall ('Berliner Mauer' in German), which divided the city from 1961 to 1989. 105 international artists painted sections of the wall in the project which began in 1990. The painting is by Yvonne Onischke, born Matzat, known as Yoni and called "Berlin by Night" ('Berlin bei Nacht').

    A Plane House
    An architect is flying high after building a new house - out of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet.

    David Hertz bought the plane for its scrap value of GBP 21,600 and dismantled it to recycle the parts.

    He turned the wings into a roof, part of the fuselage and windows into a room divider and the front engine cover into a fountain pool in the garden.

    Meanwhile, a meditation pavilion at the 55-acre home in California is made from the nose cone and cockpit.

    Other small outbuildings - such as a barn and caretaker's house - use the remaining fuselage and upper shell of the first class mezzanine.

    David is now "happy with the project in its entirety."

    The only part of the plane that has not been used is the mid-section where the landing gear is stored.

    The property is owned by an elderly woman who owns Mercedes-Benz dealerships in the state.

    David, of David Hertz Architects and Studio of Environmental Architecture, had to buy the whole plane so decided to make use of all its parts.

    He said: "I first thought about using an airplane wing while I was stood on the project site and imagined a floating curved roof.

    "I drew a sketch that showed an elliptical roof section, which reminded me of a flow diagram of an airplane wing.

    "At first, I thought about trying to construct a wing shaped roof, and then it occurred to me - 'Why not just use a wing?'

    "The client suggested we visit an airplane to see what it might look like because we rarely get up close to airplanes.

    "Once she saw the curves of the craft up close she became increasingly enthusiastic about the concept.

    "The initial idea was to use the wings of the 747 for the roofs.

    "But we had to purchase the entire 747 and would have been left with just the fuselage section left, so decided to digest the entir...
