Reconciliation
In 1995, 50 years after the end of the Second World War this sculpture by Josefina de Vasconcellos has been given by Richard Branson as a token of reconciliation.
An identical sulpture has been placed on behalf of the people of Coventry in the Peace Garden, Hirosima, Japan.
Both sculptures remind us that, in the face of destructive forces, hun=man dignity and love will triumph over disaster and bring nations together in respect and peace.
It's meassage and imagery was used in The Queen's Christmas Speech December 25th 2014, just a few weeks after I had taken these pic's.
Taken during an outing as part of a photo-course being run by David Harding out of the Percival Guildhouse. Met and spent some time in Coventry Old Cathedral and then split up to find images out and about in the area Including the New Cathedral, Cov Uni buildings etc etc.
