Thought provoking indeed.

Made me realise that, in the big scheme of things, working late isn't such a big deal.

From time to time we should be reminded of the unsavoury things in life. I accept those pictures are quite disturbing but they do provoke thought and emotion. The execution picture is a very powerful metaphor. If I'm not mistaken a Hollywood star has that picture on his wall to always remind him of the real world.

That's one I never want to see.
My brother told me he was once curious enough to watch the Ken Bigley video and very much regretted having done so afterwards. I have no such morbid curiosity.

iir he was accused of working for both sides and causing lots of deaths .... so the chief of police shot him.

If we can't face the real truth when we see it there is something very wrong.

Thanks for posting those pictures.

The one with the small child won the international photo of the year competition a few years back, the photographer took quite a few like that and he ended up killing himself due never being able to foget about what he had witnessed and subsequently photo'd

Indeed they are.

Thought about picture 1: If only that was Westminster, with a full parliament
Thought about picture 2: Mankind is the vulture here
Thought about picture 3: Now that kind of justice would sort this country's crime out.

Though provoking indeed.

That second picture is appaling. I only hope that the photographer picked that little mite up and made him/her as comfortable as possible in such a desperate hour.

I thought I was poor because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.
