FLASHBACK FRIDAY: WHAT DO YOU SEE HERE?

A young boy playing among rocks on a stream, yes.  But where?  I took this photo in a nature park in Pyongyang, North Korea.

Gives you a different perspective, doesn’t it?  This young North Korean boy, how so innocently playing amidst beautiful streams and waterfalls, has no future except to grow up to be a human robot in subjection to a tyranny.  He has no idea of the fate in store for him.  That’s why, for me, this is one of the saddest pictures I have even taken.

Perhaps he will escape from his political prison, but the odds are gravely against him.  Life does have its somber moments. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #244 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
