Children


The photo of these dead children from today's paper affected me enormously. I feel impotent in front of so much brutality, cowardice and cruelty. I decided to dedicate a happy picture to all the children who need peace and justice. There may be a better world somewhere without cowardly politicians, greedy people and brutal men with weapons.
