A Space to Play.
Gan (preschool) playground, Haifa, Israel, 2003. Because of the terrorist attacks in Israel during this time, it wasn't safe for children to play in the neighborhoods, parks or markets. I was amazed by the creativity of teachers finding ways to use materials and space.

Great photos, Amy. I love the decorated fence. It says, "You can cause us to protect ourselves, but you can't take away our joy."
