PHOTO of the day!

September 2nd 2009 20:14
child war re-enactment














A girl, re-enacting a scene from 70 years ago, stands in front of the Winton train before its departure from Prague to London September 1, 2009. The historical train departed from Prague on Tuesday to re-trace the original route from Prague to London with several survivors and descendants of 669 so-called "Winton's children" on board. The "Winton's children" were rescued by Sir Nicholas Winton in 1939 from being sent to their deaths in Nazi concentration camps.

This one has so much feeling and depth and a great deal of symbolism. You can analyse a photo much as you would a literary work. Ther's a wonderful sense of bathos here.
