    What a beautiful photograph. It’s sad that nothing has changed… I hope they have somehow lived a long and happy life together.

      We might be getting bombed every week but this picture was taken in 1989, a period of civil war so brutal it is itself referred to as a civil war (there was a lull in the previous years).

      Houses are not covered in sandbags today. This photo always gets passed around and it’s lost all sentimentality for me. I don’t want us to only be known as permanent victims of war.
