Many mouths to feed; just a single morsel to spare!
This pic didn't quite come the way I hoped. The exposure isn't short enough, focus isn't sharp enough. There's something that's been constantly nagging me about this picture.

"The lrish Hunger Memorial is designed to raise public awareness of the events that led to the famine of 1845-52 and to encourage efforts to address current and future hunger worldwide. One and a half million Irish were lost through famine related death and the Diaspora. The design expresses a desire to react and respond to changing world events without losing its focus on the project's commemorative intent. Central to Tolle's project is an authentic Famine-era cottage donated to the Memorial by his extended family, the Slacks of Attymass, County Mayo, Ireland. The cottage has been painstakingly reconstructed on the Memorial's halfacre site as an expression of solidarity to those who left from those who stayed behind. From the cottage, visitors to the Memorial meander along paths winding through a rugged landscape thickly planted with native Irish flora-plants often found growing in fallow fields. Ascending to an overlook twenty-five feet above the ground, the visitor confronts a breath-taking view of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island beyond.This landscape is cantilevered over a stratified base of glass and fossilized Irish limestone, presenting a theater of historical and modern sentiments about famine worldwide. Layers of mutable text, appearing beyond touch as shadows upon the glass, wrap around the exterior of the Memorial and into the passageway leading to the cottage while accounts of world hunger are heard from an audio installation overhead.
Brian Tolle is an internationally renowned sculptor and public artist. His recent public works include Waylay for the Whitney Biennel in Central Park (2002), Man's Achievements on a Shrinking Globe in an Expanding Universe for the Queens Museum of Art (2001) and WitchCatcher at MetroTech Center Brooklyn (1997) reinstalled in New York City Hall Park (2003). Using a variety of media, his works draw themes from the scale and experience of their surroundings provoking a re-reading by cross-wiring reality and fiction. In much of his work he uses cutting-edge technology in unexpected ways, blurring the border between the contemporary and the historical."

Along the top of Petrin Hill, behind these trees, is the Hunger Wall. Commissioned by Charles IV in 1362 to provide work for the poor of the city, it's in remarkably good shape.
Bucharest | January 12, 2014
22nd day of hunger strike. People gathered in support of Alexandru Popescu (45yo) who ended the hunger strike after he spent 22 days and nights in central Bucharest, sleeping in a sleeping bag, as he was not allowed to put up a tent in order to take cover from the cold weather. He was protesting against the establishment of the "special area of public safety" in Pungesti, Romania, where locals and activists were protesting against shale gas fracking in their village. Alexandru Popescu was also protesting against the abuse of the riot police deployed in the area. He was also against the gold mining project from Rosia Montana.
Two other protesters are still in hunger strike: George Poepscu started the strike on the 4th of January and Crina Veres on January 11.
The night shots are from the National Romanian Television (TVR) headquarters where the supporters of the strikers were asking for a TV crew to take an interview of the strikers. The TVR never interviewed Alexandru Popescu in the 22 days of hunger strike.
