Crosswalk On King George Street Jerusalem DSC_0687

If they were wearing street clothes (and not carrying weapons), they could be mistaken for freshmen in college or some even seniors in high school -- pleasant smiles...hardly the soldiers one finds in news propoganda photographs. I love the surrounding bits you've included -- the crosswalk with bit of car, shopping and merchandise, "civilizans"; gorgeous

Thanks for commenting. Yes, these are just kids. I took one this morning at the central bus station which I think are familiar with. I have not posted but I really would call that one "children with guns".

This is a powerful and disturbing image. The expressions in the young soldiers faces seem to be confidences, fear, confusion, and happiness. It shows that those that are first in harm's way (as far as armed conflict is concerned) are most often the young.

 

Fine work,

 

Cheers

Thank you very much for your comment

Meir the image is great and the message is of fear and violence. My crisis unit director in my Miami-Dade county, spended 3 weeks in Jerusalem and met with respponce teams. The presentation was terrifying and informative. After the shock you concentrate in best ways to solve the problems. Best Regards.

Thank for commenting. Mention of Miami brings back good memories. And I was at that Parrot Jungle where you probably took those excellent shots -best I've seen. You must have an great lens and steady hand. Thanks again.
