Belfast Children - 1969

Catholic and Protestant strife had recently flared up, but here in the "Falls Road"

area of Belfast, the

kids could still get pretty excited about getting their picture taken.

I guess it was another era, in the good as in the bad. I was not born then, Ireland had surely a lot more problems that it does now, but on the other hand, you were able to take a photo containing a children (or many) without being caught in the current paranoia. Photos like this show that we actually did lose something, some reality, and some sense of reality.

Apart from the rant, a relly nice picture! Ciao L.

I love this -- happiness amidst strife. Keep it up.
