Overall, I found myself left with a great feeling of sadness after viewing all these photos.
There are moments of such beauty and awe in life but then so many horrible and painful moments and events. The worst part is most of the pain and destruction in the world is caused by humans against humans or humans against their own habitat and cohabitants.
These photographs also reminded me to step outside of myself, my life, my city and see the bigger picture, reminding me that no matter how bad I think I may have it at times, there are things far worse that I cannot even fully grasp just by seeing photographs.
I am very small.
It is pointless to say that maybe 2009 will be better because the changes that need to happen in this world to bring about peace will take life times, not just one new year, but it does not hurt to be optimistic of course.
