The sun rises during summer solstice at the Kokino megalithic observatory June 21, 2007. The 3,800 years old observatory was discovered in 2001 in the north-western town of Kumanovo 70 km (43 miles) north from capital Skopje and is ranked as the fourth oldest observatory in the world after Egypt's Abu Simbel, Britain's Stonehenge and Cambodia's Angkor Wat according to NASA.

Palestinian boys gather in front of the gate at the Rafah Crossing during a protest against the closure of the border in the southern Gaza strip July 11, 2007. Since Hamas's takeover, Gaza's main border crossings have largely been closed, including the Rafah crossing with Egypt, drawing criticism from some aid groups.
