I spotted these four marching soldiers by chance while on a field trip to Buikwe district. The photo was captured in Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa. Here, most of the residents are fishermen, traders or truck drivers. The men go fishing and the women sell fish in the market.

The children might have been on their way back home after washing their clothes or bathing. The youngest were on the backs of the older ones. They were just perfectly aligned in a row, and shone delightfully in the sun.

Is there any place on Earth where the children are so neatly arranged?
