I just wanted to share some photos I took in Gaza in 1995 (some have seen these before) …

I have often wondered how many of these kids are still alive.
They were so friendly and full of life, and there was optimism in the air in spite of decades of setbacks.

Often adults I met would make the peace sign and say “Do you believe in peace? We do!” I think they thought I was from the United Nations, as most foreign visitors were.

In Gaza there was less optimism; they had suffered a lot more and were
completely cut off from the world.

The problems have escalated catastrophically since then.

You simply must sing along with this

It seems such a shame when the English claim the earth.
They give rise to such hilarity and mirth (etc).

Can’t keep up, just wait for the chorus and go
Ha ha ha ha hoo hoo hoo hoo hee hee hee hee

I’ve come to the conclusion you can’t fight the bias towards pictures — as against text and link posts — in Tumblr, so I’m going to town on pix at a dedicated Tumblr blog called PHOSSICKINGS.

It’s taken me a while to gather much there but with 16 posts each featuring several pix by a photographer or illustrator, I think you could have a peep now.

The latest entry is on Theo Jacobs (also featured here)

Theo Jacobs in Photo.net

Most of his photos are of old churches, architectural details and natural architecture made by who or whatever shaped the earth. All stunning!
