Most inspiring/moving photos you've ever seen

[open365]

like the random photo thread but more serious.

to start off with-



appeared on a rage against the machine album cover,this is a real picture of a vietnameese monk buring himself without flinching to protest against the current government.



called 'the eye of god' because of its resemblance to the human eye,a very mind-boggling picture



a montage made up of the soldiers who died in Iraq,well made and poignant.

so any more photos you find intresting/moving/inspiring posting them here would be a great idea.

I'll start off with this one. Seems a long time ago now, but at the time it did seem that there was a genuine chance of peace in the Middle East. Shame Slick Willy's there tho...



This one needs a bit of explanation. It's Private Abe Bevistein of the 11th battalion of the Middlesex regiment. A 16 year old Polish Jewish immigrant, he lied about his age & nationality to join in our Great War effort. Shell-shocked by a grenade blast he left his post & on 20/03/1916 he became one of over 300 British & Commonwealth soldiers to be shot at dawn by his own side. It strikes me as time to pardon these unfortunates and apologize to his surviving relatives for the killing of a child. His story really brought a lump to my throat.



& on a lighter note....

Most moving picture...sorry I cant post.. since it is one from my family albums. It is a picture of my two year old son holding his little brother who was just 2 days old.

I dont think I have seen anything which can top that..

What the hell just happened he wonders?



Something that the world will never forget (anybody who says this is a US plotted attack makes me sick and CC I'm not having a dig at you).

Sorry but if the evidence points that way, thats the truth of it. I think there is ample evidence to conclude that the US govt. was atleast involved in a sinister way.
As they say, fact is usually stranger than fiction.

If you truly believe that, then I have some alien remains and a photograph of a 'flying rod' you might be interested in purchasing.

Let it go, C_C, he said he wasn't having a go at you.

True, although the pictures are tragic enough on their own, Craig didn't really need to add that comment at all as it could be seen as bait.
