nice pics....BB, thanks....can I just ask what sadako signifies in this memorial day? The only sadako I know is the Japanese "Carrie" version....disturbed child, telekinetic, neurotic mom...

Beautiful images Nabi.

yup, I just googled it too....the thousand paper cranes...got it now...thanks, Lost. It's very tragic all around- the innocent casualties of war...and this is what this memorial is all about, eh?

I would have loved to agree to what you said but remember what Rafiki said to Timon. . Hakunamata . .
