Selections from a remarkable set of 43 photos at Boston.com's Big Picture. The one I most wanted to blog was #20, but out of deference to the sensibilities of some readers of this blog, I'll leave it "under the fold."
It's a shame. #20 is very powerful. I did not find it disturbing at all. Reality just is.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links.
The balloon picture is just breathtaking. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteI find Afghans to be such a beautiful people. Their suffering has been going on for so long. Still, I can't help but be slightly encouraged when I see pictures of little girls finally getting to go to school.
