A Peaceful World



This pigeon was shot by someone for apparently no serious reason. The sight of this bird; a symbol of peace, reminded me of all the human casualties around the world…

Statistics show a total of at least 54 local wars and armed conflicts have taken place in the world in 2008. Besides the 2 large scale wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Israeli – Palestinian conflict, there are also conflicts at Somalia, Burma, Philippines, Kashmir, Pakistan, India, Nigeria, Mauritania, Morocco, Sudan, Turkey, Angola and many more…

It’s a peaceful world…
