Such a powerful shot, Frank. What a storytelling image. The rubble, the note, the broken trees, and thus broken lives. And I see that little bit of the American flag among the destruction. So moving. #11729950

What a moving image this is, Frank. It had to be such a sad time but like you said, at the same time brought out the fighting spirit of the residents. An excellent image to depict this. #11729968

What a moving capture, Frank! In the end, it is all about "love"! Everything else is secondary! #11730547
