Africa in pictures: Through a window

Caroline Vallieres's composite of happy children, in northern Uganda, peeping out of a hut kicks off a series of shots themed Through a Window, sent in by BBC News website readers in Africa.

This photograph is by Tom Kennard and as he says: "It's perhaps the most famous window in Africa - Nelson Mandela's cell window on Robben Island."

Here, two little boys are seen playing with old tyres, through a broken window. Hunter Nielson snapped it while working in Kenya, in Nairobi's Kibera neighbourhood.

Here, a washing line and a blue sky are seen through a window in Khayelitsha township in South Africa, in this photograph taken by Mason Long.

And Kimuli Magambo took this picture of a cheeky baboon climbing on his car whilst driving around Uganda's Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Terry Sebastian spied this scene while visiting a small Nigerian village: "A boy stares out of a window, who knows what he is thinking about?"

Here, the first signs of dawn are seen by Erin Graves while travelling from Maputo to Xai-Xai on a bus in Mozambique.

Spencer Millsap took this picture of the view looking out of his guest house window while staying in Cederburg in South Africa.

And Elissa Butler took this photograph of the White Nile, snaking its way across Uganda, while flying through the African sky, high above the clouds.

Another travelling view... this time by Virginia Lepp, who snapped this shot while crossing a bridge in Tanzania.

Lastly, Aarti Dodhia's photograph of a bend in Kenya's Ewaso Nyiro River as seen through a window and a rear view mirror. For future galleries please send in your images of African elders.
