Description

---
After a devastating fire last weekend in which four tiny children lost, the memory was rekindled of a fire that broke out in a Philadelphia warehouse two years ago and ended the lives of two fire fighters. This was the aftermath of that conflagration.
-------
Tomorrow a mural will be dedicated honoring the two lost men, Fire Lt. Neary and Fire Fighter Sweeney. People who have seen the mural say that it "brings the two wonderful men back to life in some way."

I will be photographing the ceremony.

------
Several filters were used to enhance the light shining through the devastation, including TOPAZ Star, Nik Viveza, On-One Perfect Effects, and others.

A beautiful photo, but it's tough to look at it knowing the tragedy behind it. Super work none-the-less, Michelle! #11085157
