FASHION VICTIMS OF THE WORLD UNITED.

De toutes ces haines stupides,
ces fleurs que l’on écrase
à l’aube de l’éclosion
au nom d’une pensée
aux couleurs différentes
ou de légitime frivolité
se baignant dans l’air libre.
De tout ce sang versé
qui célébrait la vie,
ces innocences bafouées
dans la terreur, le carnage,
que faire, que répondre
sinon continuer à nous ouvrir
comme pétales au soleil
avec la caresse du vent,
la bienveillance de la terre
qui berce d’un même rythme
le monde en entier.
Chantez avec des fleurs,
fêtez toutes les couleurs,
portez l’amour en bandoulière,
allongez-vous sur des parterres odorants,
respirez les sourires, respirez les sourires
même à l’ombre,
même au soir triste,
respirez les sourires
qui ne se voilent.
Louis Bertholom, poète.

These are the stripped remains of the British steamer “H.M.S.Crested Eagle” on the beach of Zuydcoote (near Dunkirk). The wreck is a tragic reminder of the WWII Dunkirk evacuation: operation Dynamo. The Crested Eagle run aground on May 29, 1940 after being attacked by German dive bombers and set on fire, killing more than 300 soldiers and crew.
The Crested Eagle was one of 228 larger boats lost in the operation. Including the smaller boats, the number of ships sunk is more than 300.
When are we going to learn to live together in peace and understanding? Violence is NO solution. We need to share our space in this world together and make room for all of us to share with respect, friendship and love! There is NO ROOM for hate in this world, it just kills us all and creates never-ending pain and devastation. STOP the hate, START the love!!!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
je me sens démunie devant tant de souffrance, ne pouvant rien faire que d'offrir une fleur en mémoire des victimes
I feel helpless - so many tragedies - all I can do is to give a flower in memory of the victims

Le 10 juin 1944, une division SS a incendié le village et massacré tous ses habitants. Les nazis ont tué 642 personnes dont plus de 450 femmes et enfants et ont incendié le village... Ce village est un lieu de mémoire symbole de la barbarie nazie. Marcel Darthout, aujourd'hui décédé, était l'un des derniers rescapés du massacre d'Oradour-Sur-Glane perpétré par la Panzer-Division SS "Das Reich". Il avait 20 ans à l'époque, mais en 2013, au micro de Stéphane Robert, il s'en souvenait comme si c'était hier. Cela s'est passé le 10 juin 1944 en début d'après-midi.

On June 10, 1944, an SS division burned down the village and massacred all its inhabitants. The Nazis killed 642 people, including more than 450 women and children, and set the village on fire ... This village is a place of memory, a symbol of Nazi barbarism. Marcel Darthout, now deceased, was one of the last survivors of the Oradour-Sur-Glane massacre perpetrated by the SS Panzer-Division "Das Reich". He was 20 at the time, but in 2013, at Stéphane Robert's microphone, he remembered it as if it were yesterday. This happened on June 10, 1944 in the early afternoon.

"The composition titled 'Shoes on the Danube Bank' gives remembrance to the 3,500 people, 800 of them Jews, who were shot into the Danube during the time of the Arrow Cross terror.[2] The sculptor created sixty pairs of period-appropriate shoes out of iron. The shoes are attached to the stone embankment, and behind them lies a 40 meter long, 70 cm high stone bench. At three points are cast iron signs, with the following text in Hungarian, English, and Hebrew: "To the memory of the victims shot into the Danube by Arrow Cross militiamen in 1944–45.
Moving this image to the top of my photostream as Russia is ramping up its unprovoked, unjust and ultimately senseless war in Ukraine. We are standing for freedom together!

In March 2016, I published this image under the title "For Brussels, with Sorrow". Since then, so many people have died in similar attacks all over the world... I would like to make it a tribute to all of them, victims of brutal and senseless terrorism.

“Religion is a by-product of fear. For much of human history it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn't killing people in the name of god a pretty good definition of insanity?”
-- Arthur C. Clarke

Yesterday, in my ongoing review and cleaning of my old photos in Lightroom, I arrived to photos taken in Brussels. This morning, I heard the terrible news; another terrible news of the same kind: a score of innocent people killed and maimed by a bunch of insane lunatics. I love Brussels, and my heart goes out to the victims’ relatives and friends. I just can’t remain silent. From my small collection, I have chosen this photo of a sculptural composition with the name and author unknown to me. Today, I interpret it as a memorial to the victims who could still live, love, laugh, and work to make their city even more beautiful…
If we get the right information from our society during development, and if our body do chemical, physical, biological and psychological functions well, we do well.
A victim of the COVID pandemic, this beautiful building has been standing like this since 2020. Who knows if it will be given a new lease of life. My guess is this building was going to be a restaurant of some sort, but it'd make a stunning house!

Rome, Italy (January, 2016)
The ivey on the side of a UBC (University of British Columbia) building appears to be slowly but inexorably devouring its victim
Every year billion upon billions of leaves become the victims of the relentless onslaught of the inevitable. The coming of fall....
It had been a long night with questioning persons of interest, the victim’s ex-husband, his girlfriend and the victim’s current boyfriend. And they had been searching for clues and arguing about them.

Another picture from my series on Wadenhoe in the Nene Valley in Northamptonshire. The pretty 18th century village of Wadenhoe lies between Thrapston and Oundle on the River Nene. High above it on the hill is a church that dates back to Saxon times plus numerous humps in the adjacent field. These can only be the remains of a medieval village that probably fell victim to the plague (as villages sometimes did). A "new" village was built down by the river.
There has been a watermill here since before Norman times though the building (left of centre) dates mainly from the mid-late 1700s. The millstream is shallow here and the farmer crosses the river in his tractor to reach the fields this side. Rather like in Constable's picture, The Haywain.
