Posted by Shutterbug (Chennai, India) on 6 August 2007 in Plants & Nature.
The last of the series... I hope it turned out the way I wanted it to be - a tribute to the natural courage and resilience of the children who bounced back faster than anyone else did after the tsunami hit. I wanted to end with the image of a bright smile, one that will put a smile on everyone who comes here. Because that is the enduring message of this tribute. Thanks for coming by...

today also marks a tragic day 62 years ago as today is the day the A-bomb was dropped on Hiroshima...
